Using Input Busses

You can use input busses to input, process, record, and mix external audio sources with your Acid project. Following are some examples of how you can use input busses in your projects:

  • Use an input bus as a recording input, allowing you to apply effects and record a wet signal.

  • Use an input bus as a mixer input for an external device, such as a synthesizer.

  • Use an input bus as a return for hardware-based effects.

  • Use an input bus to monitor a source such as a talkback microphone.
