The mixing engine offers tremendous routing flexibility with support for all the effects you want, and VSTi virtual instrument support means even greater sonic variety, flexibility, and precision.

• Recordable parameter automation, including external hardware support—Move volume, pan, and effects controls as you listen, and record those changes to your mix in real time. Your changes appear as envelopes that can be edited in the timeline. Realtime parameter changes can also be made using an external hardware controller.
  
  
• Surround Encoder—Use the Surround Encoder to view a video while keyframing or editing any multi-track mix into a 5.1 surround-sound experience, and then export the results as an interleaved file for use in Adobe Premiere Pro.
