Abstract
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a decentralized mixer includes an audio input circuit to receive one or more local audio input signals, a network adapter to couple to a network and to receive one or more mix busses from one or more other mixers coupled to the network, a digital signal processor to create a local mix of the local audio input signals in combination with the mix busses from the network, and a recording circuit to record the local mix, and/or to record the raw signals from the mix busses and the local audio input signals.
Claims20
A mixer, comprising:
- an audio input circuit to receive one or more local audio input signals;
- a network adapter to couple to a network and to receive one or more mix busses from one or more other mixers coupled to the network;
- a digital signal processor to create a local mix of the local audio input signals in combination with the mix busses from the network;
- and
- a recording circuit to record the local mix, or to record the raw signals from the mix busses and the local audio input signals, or combinations thereof.
A method of decentralized mixing, comprising:
- receiving one or more mix busses from a network via a network adapter;
- transmitting one or more local inputs to the network as a network bus via the network adapter;
- creating, via a digital signal processor, a local mix of the local inputs and the one or more mix busses received from the network;
- recording, via a recording circuit, the local mix to a storage device;
- and
- recording, via a recording circuit, the raw local inputs and the one or more mix busses received from the network to the storage device.
A decentralized mixer, comprising:
- means for receiving one or more mix busses from a network;
- means for transmitting one or more local inputs to the network as a network bus;
- means for creating a local mix of the local inputs and the one or more mix busses received from the network;
- means for recording the local mix;
- and
- means for recording the raw local inputs and the one or more mix busses received from the network.
