Patent ID: 8031886

Claim:
An audio signal processing system comprising: an audio signal processing device that processes one or more inputted audio signals in one or more channels, mixes the processed signals in one or more buses, and outputs the signals mixed in the buses; and a computer that sends and receives plural audio signals to and from said audio signal processing device via a communication path and executes an application program which realizes a function of plural tracks, each of which inputs an audio signal selected from the received audio signals, records the input signal, plays back the recorded signal, and outputs one of the signal inputted to the track and the played back signal to be sent to said audio signal processing device, wherein said audio signal processing device sends an audio signal inputted to each channel of said audio signal processing device to said computer via the communication path, wherein said audio signal processing device comprises a selection control that accepts a first selecting operation of a user, corresponding to any one of the channels, and selects one of a dry signal of the channel, which is an audio signal processed in the channel, and a wet signal of the channel, which is an audio signal sent from the channel in said audio signal processing device to said computer and sent back to said audio signal processing device via the communication path after processed in said computer, to be supplied to the bus in response to the first selecting operation, and wherein, when the dry signal is selected by said selection control of one of the channels, said audio signal processing device controls itself to supply an audio signal processed in said one channel, as the dry signal of the channel, to the bus and remote-controls said computer not to send back the audio signal from a track to which the audio signal sent from said one channel is inputted, to said audio signal processing device via the track and the communication path, and when the wet signal is selected by said selection control of one of the channels, said audio signal processing device controls itself not to supply the audio signal processed in said one channel to the bus and remote-controls said computer to send back the audio signal from a track to which the audio signal sent from said one channel is inputted, as the wet signal of the channel, to said audio signal processing device via the communication path to supply the returned signal to the bus.
