multiple instruments on mixer channel

[tjmarko]

Forgive my inexperience, I tried looking for this in the manual, but couldn't find it. (I may have been looking right at it, but it was the proverbial snake!).

I use Notion SLE w/ GPO4. Windows 7 32 bit, (not optimal, I know).

My piece uses 24 instruments, some are doubled, ie; clarinet 1&2 on same staff.

When using the mixer, and soloing violin 1, I also have one of the FH staves audible.

1) Am I doing something wrong?
2) Can this be avoided?

Please let me know if any more info is needed to help. Thanks in advance.

in the "mixer" window, up top look for some buttons like "all" "midi" "vsti"
...and inside the right edge of the "vsti" button see a tiny + mark, click on the vsti+ and get a dropdown list of all your vsti plugin instruments, and select one that you want to give its own mixer fader. You can keep doing this to add a bunch of separate inputs per instruments that have multiple audio channels, or put only certain channels of an instrument on the mixer. You get a sub (with no meters) plus all the separate channels you have selected show up with their own faders.
