Orinj Mix order

Orinj version 8.0.0

The precise order of mixing is as follows.

1. The sound data from all blocks in a track is combined into a single signal per track. This includes all types of blocks: waves, loops, and MIDI files. (Loops and MIDI files are converted to waves when included in the session).
2. Track effects are applied to each track.
3. Track volumes, pan, volume envelopes (volume automation), and pan envelopes (pan automation) are applied to each track.
4. Tracks are sent to auxiliary channels, as appropriate.
5. Effects are applied to auxiliary channels.
6. Auxiliary channel volume, pan, and related envelopes are applied to the auxiliary channels.
7. Auxiliary channels and tracks are mixed into the master channel.
8. Master channel effects are applied to the master channel.
9. Master channel volume and pan are applied to the master channel.

Each individual track in the session is first mixed individually before being placed into an auxiliary channel or the overall mix. Similarly, each auxiliary channel is mixed individually before it is included in the master channel.

In all three stages of the mix – tracks, auxiliary channel, and the master channel – effects are applied before volume and pan.

This order is the same when mixing for playback and when mixing to a file.

Premixed tracks

The order for premixed tracks is the same, except steps 1 and 2 are completed before playback or mixing starts.

Order of tracks

Orinj uses multithreading to mix several tracks at the same time. This makes mixing faster. Since tracks may be mixed simultaneously, there is no guarantee that they will be mixed in the order in which they are shown. For example, the third track may be mixed before the second track.
