I am seeking to create a simple audio mixer that takes two or more audio inputs and allows them to possibly be placed at the same time.

I have used the matrix~ obj but it appears to require that you use the mtrxctrl obj to control the output - a feature I don't need and works against what I want to do.

Basically, I need help using the Matrix as a simple audio router.

Why not tack a message box onto the output of the matrixctrl object to see what messages it puts out when you punch the buttons? Alternately, the matrix~ refpage lists the messages the object understands - you could look there as well.

I generally agree that it's best to explore and learn yourself, but I had a piece of code which was a basic 2 channel mixer (from a long time ago).

see below, the code is very basic, there is a more efficient system to handle the messages, but I thought the layout was clearer this way:

and also, just to show, you don't need to use the matrixctl... but why not. it's a nice visual way to see what is happening (when debugging, or something).

here is a version where the message controls are connected directly to the matrixctrl~

am i the only one who is not using [matrix~] to sum channels?

no, Roman, you're not the only one. i use line~ because matrix~ can be CPU overkill in a larger app-style patch. (but to each their own, i always say :D)
