Two additional channel types not shown in the table—input and bus (see “Channel
Strip Objects” on page 957)—are primarily retained for compatibility with projects
created in earlier Logic Express versions.
Setting Channel Strip Levels
You use the Level fader of a channel strip to set its playback or monitoring volume. The
segmented level meters of the channel strip display the level in real time. The clip
detector above the level meter shows you the available headroom of a track in decibels
(dB).
To set the playback, or monitoring level of a channel strip:
m Drag the Level fader of the desired channel up or down
The maximum boost is +6 dB. You can reset the Level fader to 0 dB (90) by Option-
clicking on it.
If the Independent Monitoring Level (for Record Enabled Channel Strips) preference of
the Logic Express > Preferences > Audio > Devices > Core Audio tab is enabled, an
independent monitoring level is available when an audio channel is record enabled.
For further information, see “Setting the Monitoring Level” on page 375.
