Audio buses, routing and mixer

The definition of the sound buses and their routing is very important part of the Master Bank.

  • Bus
  • Routing

Current table describes mixer principles in our Master Bank:

master Example Example
<--- cabin master - none - Example
.....<--- interior cabin Individual truck interior sounds as for example:
air warning, blinkers, sticks, park brake, wipers, windows...		 Example
.....<--- window_left cabin - none - Example
.....<--- window_right cabin - none - Example
<--- exterior master Example Example
.....<--- traffic exterior Example Example
.....<--- trailer exterior Example Example
.....<--- truck_effects exterior Example Example
.....<--- truck_engine exterior Example Example
.....<--- truck_exhaust exterior Example Example
