Maestro 2
Mixer Tab Window
This mixer provides a low latency path from Ensemble’s inputs to its outputs, for the case where latency through your
software audio application is too long. For more information about what latency is and how to manage it, see Low
Latency Mixing.
Pan - This rotary knob pans the input signal between the left and right sides of the Maestro mixer’s stereo output.
Input Level fader - This slider sets the level of the input signal in the Maestro mixer’s stereo output.
Meter - This bargraph style meter displays the pre-fader input level.
Level Value Window - Indicates the level of the Input Fader, between -48 and 0 dBFS.
Solo - This button mutes all other channels whose Solo buttons are not engaged.
Mute - This button mutes the input channel.
Software Return Fader - This stereo input channel provides level control, metering, and mute/solo functions for
the signal from the software application containing playback. Match the Software Return drop-down menu selec-
tion to the audio application’s mixer output. In most cases both the Mixer and the Software Return drop-down
menus are set to Analog 1-2.
Mixer Master - This is the level control and meter for the mixer’s main output. Route the mixer’s main output to
the desired hardware output in the Output or Standalone Routing tab windows.
Mixer Selection - This drop-down menu selects which of the two independent Low Latency mixers on the En-
semble you wish to control. Both mixers function wether selected or not.
Custom Label - The user may enter any custom name to identify the channel. These custom labels are not
transmitted to the DAW or computer software.
