Swap L/R (Left/Right) button: Swaps the left and right output channels. The swapping
occurs after the Balance parameter in the signal path.
Mono button: Outputs the summed mono signal on both the left and right channels.
Using Phase Inversion
Inverting phase is useful for dealing with time alignment problems, particularly those
caused by simultaneous recording with multiple microphones. When you invert the
phase of a signal heard in isolation, it sounds identical to the original. When the signal
is heard in conjunction with other signals, however, phase inversion may have an audible
effect. For example, if you place microphones above and below a snare drum, you may
find that inverting the phase of either microphone can improve (or ruin) the sound. As
always, rely on your ears.
Multichannel Gain
Multichannel Gain allows you to independently control the gain (and phase) of each
channel in a surround mix.
Master slider and field: Sets the master gain for the combined channel output.
Channel gain sliders and fields: Set the amount of gain for the respective channel.
Phase Invert buttons: Invert the phase of the selected channel.
Mute buttons: Mute the selected channel.
