Submix
While used generally in the audio world, the term "submix" PARIS has a very specific technical meaning. It refers to a discrete group of 16 tracks summed into stereo and appearing at the Master Mixer.
There are three kinds of submixes: SubmixCard card, SubmixVirtual virtual and (as of Version 3) SubmixNative native.
Card submixes
Paris can play back any discrete submix "live" when it is associated with a specific EDS card. This allows full functionality of all mixer features.
Virtual Submixes
Submixes can be rendered into a pair of audio files, permitting you to switch away from that card to enable another group of 16 tracks to play "live". This "freezes" the submix; using the mixer no longer makes an audible difference.
Problems with Virtual Submixes -
PARIS can grow confused about its submix files; some of the things that confuse PARIS are creating multiple versions of the same song without paying careful attention to your RecordPath Record Path, sometimes forcing PARIS to make guesses about which similarly named submix files to use. This will generate an "Error Recalculating Submix" message; troubleshooting tips for such messages are available in the BugsTroubleshooting bugs/troubleshooting section.
