Output Routing

The slot directly below the Input slot determines where the signal of the Audio Object
(mixer channel) will be sent. The number of outputs that are available is determined by
the audio hardware in use.

Hold Option while selecting the inputs or outputs of a single channel to change all
selected Audio Objects simultaneously. (See also “Multiple Selection of Audio Objects”
on page 194.) Please not
e that inputs are only changed on (selected) Audio Objects of
the same status: mono or stereo. This facility allows you to easily select a single input
for all audio tracks.

Double-click on Output slot
Double-clicking on the Output slot on any audio channel will “jump” to the allocated
Output channel fader, accelerating navigation in the Mixers.

Pan/Balance

Mono Objects feature a Pan control, which determines the position of a signal in the
stereo image.

Stereo Objects, on the other hand, possess Balance controls. The Balance control differs
from the Pan control in that the former controls the relative levels of two signals (L/R)
at their outputs. The latter merely apportions one signal between two outputs.

Note: You can reset the Pan control to it’s centered (0) position with an Option-click.

Level

Audio Objects feature level meters that display the playback or input monitor level.

When you arm a track, in preparation for recording, the meter displays the input level.
