An audio mixing console for processing a plurality of audio channels, in each of which a plurality of audio processing functions are to be performed, has a control panel including a plurality of input fields for selecting audio processing functions, displaying an audio processing function selected and indicating a selected order of audio processing functions for the audio processing channel stages. A stereo mode which can be selected at an input field links adjacent channels. Grouped side chain processes can be defined. A recording input matrix provides a track bounce facility for preserving a channel mix on re-recording a mix of previously recorded tracks. Values for cue faders can be loaded automatically from the main channel faders. Selectable delays can be provided at each processing stage to maintain channel alignment. Also, the chaining of analogue audio functions is provided. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, therefore, there is provided an audio mixing console for processing a plurality of audio channels in each of which a plurality of audio processing functions are to be performed, the audio mixing console comprising a control panel including a plurality of input fields, each for selecting an audio processing function for a respective stage in an audio processing channel, means for displaying an audio processing function selected and means for indicating a selected order of audio processing functions for the audio processing channel stages.
By defining a plurality of input fields on the control panel the user is able to identify a particular stage in the audio processing channel currently under consideration with an input field.
Preferably, the input fields are arranged in a block on the control panel such that relative positions of the input field within the block define the order of the audio processing functions.
This facilitates the interaction between the user and the console.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention two rows of input fields are provided with the order of processing being from top left, along the top row, then along the bottom row to the bottom right.
Another possible disposition would be a single horizontal or vertical row.
The input fields preferably comprise at least one direction control, more preferably two direction controls, (e.
g.
, buttons) for scanning a menu of selectable audio processing functions, and means responsive to operation of the direction control to scan through the menu of selectable processing selections and to cause a display of a current menu item on the display means.
In this manner the operator is able to scan through the menu of possible audio processing functions in order to identify a desired processing function.
To facilitate user interaction each input field comprises a display for displaying a menu item currently accessed for the input field.
Preferably also, each input field comprises a selection control for selecting an audio processing function currently displayed for the input field
