SubmixVoice

SubmixVoice is a hypothetical audio processing concept that refers to the process of routing and controlling multiple individual audio tracks into a single, consolidated audio stream before it is outputted or further processed. This technique is commonly employed in professional audio mixing environments, digital audio workstations (DAWs), and live sound reinforcement systems.

The primary purpose of submixing is to simplify complex mixes. Instead of having to adjust the volume, equalization, or effects on dozens of individual tracks, a submix allows users to group related sounds, such as all the drum microphones, all the vocal microphones, or all the instrument tracks, and control them as a single unit. This can significantly streamline the mixing workflow, especially for large ensembles or complex productions.

In practice, a submix is often created by assigning multiple input channels to an auxiliary send or bus. This bus then acts as a new, single output for those grouped channels. Adjustments made to the submix bus will affect all the tracks routed to it simultaneously. This can include global volume changes, the application of shared effects like reverb or compression, and overall tone shaping. Submixing is a fundamental technique for achieving clarity, cohesion, and efficient control in audio production.
