5 – Using the Mixer Panel

Effects send bus signal setting

There are three options. The signal can be sent to the send

bus either before (PRE) or after (POST) the fader, or not sent

at all (OFF).

PRE:

Signal sent before fader

POST (default): Signal sent after fader
OFF:

Signal not sent (nothing appears)

This setting is retained even when the unit is turned off and

on again.
Click the top of the frame to cycle through the options in the

following order.

OFF w PRE w POST w OFF

Use the knob inside the frame to adjust the send level.

Level: 0 (–inf) – 127 (0dB) (default: 0 (–inf))

Click and hold the knob that you want to adjust and drag

up and down to adjust the level. The current value appears

beneath the knob while the mouse button is being held

down.
Level settings are retained even when the unit is turned off

and on again.

SOLO buttons

Use these buttons when you want to listen to or mix only

audio from selected channels.
You can solo multiple channels at the same time.
When one or more channels is soloed, all other channels are

automatically muted.
This is convenient when you only want to listen to or mix a

few channels because it is easier than using multiple “MUTE”

buttons.

ON:

Button appears red

OFF (default): Button appears gray

Click a SOLO button to turn the function on/off for that

channel.
When all the “SOLO” buttons are off, clicking the “SOLO”

button for one channel activates solo mode, automatically

muting all the other channels.
When all the “SOLO” buttons are turned off again, solo

mode is deactivated. At this time all channels that had been

automatically muted are unmuted again, and mute settings

are restored to their state before solo mode was activated.

NOTE

Solo mode does not automatically activate the master

channel “MUTE” button.

Solo settings are not retained when the unit is turned off

and on again (solo buttons are turned off).

5

MUTE buttons

Use these to turn the mute function on/off for each channel.

ON:

Button appears orange (channel muted)

OFF (default): Button appears gray

Click a “MUTE” button to turn the function on/off for that

channel.
This setting is retained even when the unit is turned off and

on again.

NOTE

In addition to being turned on and off when they are clicked,

“MUTE” buttons are also automatically turned on and off
when “SOLO” buttons are used. See “

4

SOLO buttons”

above for details.

Pan sliders

These adjust the stereo position (left – center – right) of the

channel signal sent to the master bus.
When set all the way left (L15), the signal from that channel

is sent only to the master bus left channel. No signal is sent

to the right bus.
When set all the way right (R15), the signal from that channel

is sent only to the master bus right channel. No signal is sent

to the left bus.
When set to the center (C), the channel signal level is

lowered –3dB and sent to both the left and right channels of

the master bus.
Including the central position and 15 steps to both left and

right, there are 31 steps total.
The slider appears blue when set to the center (C) and yellow

at all other positions.
Click and drag the pan slider left or right to change the

stereo position.
While you are clicking the pan slider, the pan position
appears in the area where the fader levels are shown (

in

the illustration on page 19).
You can reset the pan slider to the center (C) position by

control-clicking it when using a Windows PC or command-

clicking it when using a Mac.
When two channels are linked (“LINK” button is on), the pan

slider adjusts the volume balance between the left (odd) and

right (even) channels.
This setting is retained even when the unit is turned off and

on again.

Faders

These adjust the levels of each channel in the mix.

Range: +6dB to –inf in 147 steps, default: 0dB

Click and drag a fader up or down to adjust its level.
Drag it up to increase its level (–inf w 6dB), or drag it down

to decrease its level (6dB w –inf).
The fader level gain value is shown in the fader level area (

8

in the illustration on page 19).
You can reset the fader to 0dB by control-clicking it when

using a Windows PC or command-clicking it when using a

Mac.
