When this isselected, any buss assignments are removed.Using the assignment screens These screensallow you to assign channels to the busses, and thebusses and the aux sends to the appropriate destina-tions, in an easy graphical solution.Figure 4.5: Assignment keysFigure 4.6: Buss assignment screen (linkedbusses)
