THE MIXES TAB
Click the Mixes tab (Figure 9-2) to gain access to
the 828x’s eight stereo mix busses. The Mixes tab
displays one mix bus at a time.
Viewing a mix
Choose the mix you wish to view from the mix bus
menu (in the Mixes tab itself, as shown in
Figure 9-2). The menu shows all mixes by name,
followed by the 828x output pair to which each bus
master fader is assigned. If the optical output bank
is either disabled or set to TOSLink (see “Optical
input/output” on page 41), then bus 5, 6 and 7 are
disabled.
Naming a mix
Click the mix name at the top of the mix bus master
fader (Figure 9-2) to edit the name.
Assigning a mix bus output
Choose the desired output pair for the mix bus
from the bus output menu (Figure 9-2). The bus
output menu displays all current available
(enabled) 828x output pairs. If a bus is already
assigned to an output pair, the bus name appears
next to the output pair name to indicate that the
output pair is already taken by a bus. Only one bus
can be assigned to any given output pair. If you
choose an output already assigned to another bus,
that bus output will become disabled.
Bus fader
The bus fader (Figure 9-2) controls the overall level
of the mix (its volume on its stereo output). Use the
individual input faders to the left to control
individual input levels.
