Downmix Page
Downmixing gives you another great tool to route the sound to subwoofers, fills, and simplified audio setups.
The dropdown menus let you assign hardware outputs to the individual downmixes. Outputs that are already occupied by either a speaker or another downmix are blocked and can not be selected.
You can retain control of all the levels, gain for each individual downmix can be adjusted using the trim fader next to the output selectors.
Downmix your sound so that it can be listened to on other systems. SPACE HUB Control features a reliable and intelligent feature to create automatic Downmixes:
- Stereo
Stereo Downmix of all loudspeaker outputs. The LR Focus slider can be used to emphasize Objects in the Front or in the Back of the room, depending on what is best for the Downmix you are creating.
- Mono
Mono Downmix of all loudspeaker outputs, including Reverb.
- Aux/LFE 1 and Aux/LFE 2
Mono buses with adjustable Aux Send per Object (LFE 1 and LFE 2 Parameters). The LFE 1 and LFE 2 Parameters are saved and recalled with Snapshots. These Buses do not include Reverb.
- PFL Left and PFL Right
Pre Fader Listen Buses
- Binaural
The right-hand side of the Downmix page is dedicated to the SPACE HUB’s Binaural downmix.
An impressive head-tracking function can be used to keep objects where you want in the mix, relative to the sound, even as you move around. Objects move relative to your own position, or the position of an actor in a show, for instance.
Head tracking requires a sensor such as the Supperware Head Tracker 1 to be attached to your headphones. The Supperware Head Tracker outputs its orientation as MIDI messages, and so in this case, select ‘MIDI’ from the Headtracker drop down menu.
Lower on the Downmix page is an equaliser with tuning filters known from LINUS Control, to adjust the frequency response of the headphones. This EQ only affects the Binaural output, not the other Downmixes.
At the very bottom you can select the hardware outputs on the processor and adjust the output level for the Binaural Downmix.
