  • Patent number: 8098851
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a first mixer connects to a network and if a second mixer is detected on the network, the first mixer obtains an identifier for the second mixer, adds one or more audio signals from the second mixer to a mix of the first mixer, and stores a mix setting for the second mixer on the first mixer. If the second mixer is subsequently connected to the first mixer, the first mixer obtains the identifier for the second mixer, recalls the stored mix setting for the second mixer based at least in part on the identifier, and adds one or more audio signals from the second mixer to a present mix of the first mixer based at least in part on the recalled mix setting.
