The Mixer Assistant is a visual interface that simplifies and accelerates the process of configuring input and output signal routing in ARC Audio’s DNA software. Acting as a companion to the main Input and Output Mixer panels, any changes made here are instantly mirrored in the primary mixer views—ensuring seamless integration between tools.

This assistant provides a clean, grid-based layout where users can quickly assign input channels to output channels by simply clicking the intersection points. Active routing points are illuminated, making even complex signal paths easy to follow. Right-clicking on any assigned intersection opens a contextual menu allowing users to set gain levels from +6dB to -6dB in 3dB increments—ideal for fine-tuning summed signals or creating multi-channel blends.

Whether you’re building a straightforward front-stage system or integrating multiple OEM sources into custom outputs, the Mixer Assistant speeds up the process while maintaining visual clarity. Pre-configured routing templates are also available to help jump start configuration for common system layouts.

Designed for both beginners and seasoned installers, this intuitive tool makes navigating even the most advanced setups quicker and less error-prone—allowing you to focus more on tuning and less on the logistics of signal flow.
