All mic channels, ambience buses and auxes are represented by channels in the BFD2 mixer.
3. Toolbar (section 3:4)
The Mixer page toolbar lets you add and remove aux channels and reset the mixer. It also contains a global power button for
BFD2’s internal FX, and a number of view settings for the mixer.
4. Utility panel (section 3:4)
This multi-function panel provides access to a number of important functions in the Mixer page, by clicking the tab buttons at the
top of the panel.
• Send controls for each channel (section 3:8)

• Mixer preset panel, allows you to document and quickly browse through mixer presets (section 3:10)
• Audio export settings (section 3:11)

settings are available, with the exception of the articulation controls. (section 2:9)
5. FX rack (section 3:7)
The FX rack shows the contents of the 4 FX slots for the currently selected mixer channel. A full suite of high quality audio FX is
built into BFD2.
How to approach mixing
This chapter explains how to use BFD2’s mixer. However, it does not tell you how to mix, or how to use the built-in FX processors.
Chapter 12 contains a comprehensive overview of drum mixing and harnessing BFD2’s FX suite to create great sounding drum
tracks.
It is, of course, advisable to first read this chapter to become familiar with using the mixer so that you are in a position to be able
to accomplish whatever drum mixing techniques you need.
