<div dir="ltr">Paul, as basic as this may seem, i've written this little gem of info down, and will duly spread the word. I've tried it and it works, and Sean has further raised my interest in exploring this 'new for me' side of Ardour. <br>

</div>this idea is based on a misconception about how ardour works internally.<br>
"mixing" is 100% the same as the basic signal processing that occurs on<br>
every "signal processing route" (known to users as tracks & busses). you<br>
can't "separate" this from mixing, but you don't have to have the editor<br>
involved at all.<br>
<br>
if you want ardour as just a mixer, you create a session with only<br>
busses, then you hide the editor window and show just the mixer.<br>
et voila.<br>
