The Mix List allows you to create and manage multiple mix “passes” and complete routing and effects setups for a single Timeline. Each stored mix can have totally different mix automation data that is changing over time, routing, plugin setup, track grouping, etc.
This capability is incredibly powerful and allows a lot of creative freedom for creating different versions of mixes (for example moving between stereo, 5.1, and Dolby Atmos as formats), or between using totally different plugin effects or different creative approaches to the mix itself using all of the automated parameters.
So the Mix List’s utility is not limited to storing mix automation data; it can be used to store a dynamic preset of literally anything about the setup of the Mixer.
Keep in mind that the Mix List is particular to a single Timeline and also cannot be shared between projects. However, using the Mix List can be more convenient than saving multiple different versions of timelines or projects.
The Mix List can act as a floating window where you can see the various mixes, or it can be hidden until you need to load or save a new version.
