Based on Blender Audio Specifications and Audaspace Implementation: Audio in Blender This is a Research pool for that project. Once the concepts is written and code analysis is done, the documentation section will be moved to the proposal section, available from the homepage.

| Concepts | Features |
|---|---|
| Device Channels | The Device physical connectors from the user´s soundcard specifications. |
| Channels Preferences | The User selects the channels option to work with. From 1 to 8 output channels and up to 2 Inputs channels |
| Device Inputs Channels | The Device physical inputs from the user´s soundcard specifications. Audio driver will allow up to 2 Inputs channels. |
| Device Outputs Channels | The Device physical outputs from the user´s soundcard specifications. Audio driver will allow up to 16 outputs channels. |
| Bus Mixer Routing | The Mixing Channels. The internal audio routing includes a Bus mixing area where user can define his sound strategy. |
| Strip Bus Property | Assign a Bus to a Sound Strip. Each sound sequence can be routed to one specific Mixing Bus. |
| Audio Mixdown Master | Export Channel Strips, regarding the output channels settings in system preferences. |
| Audio Mixdown Mixbus | Export Channel Strips, regarding the user´s scene MixBus settings in scene properties. |
| Audio Unit | The unit used for audio level (inputs/outputs) is expressed in decibel dB. The reference range is -60 <> 0dB, the steps can be linear or dynamic (optional). |
| Audio Effects Modifiers | VSE Specific |
| Audio Effects Nodes | Mixing console |
| Audio Visualizations | in VSE sequencer window? (no), in VSE preview window? (why not). |
| Audio Vu-Meters | |
| Audio Equalizer (Param/Band) |
This option includes a Mix Buses routing interface between the audio strips and the Master-to-Devices outputs.
- Preferences Settings are: Number of Buses (1,2,4,8) and Device Output Channels
- Options are: Audio Strip Bus (depends on preferences)
- Default connections: Bus ST 1 > Output 1+2 ...
Notes: The user actions on sounds is limited in sequencer view, alternative view for edit. IF Audio Fx are placed between the Mix buses and the Output channels, Sound Nodes become a a goodoption to work with audio sequences "groups" or sub-mix or "Mix Bus", whatever they are placed in the sequencer channels and be adjusted together.
