Pan
The Pan knobs control the position of a chan-
nel’s audio signal in the stereo image of the ste-
reo mix (double-click the knob to return pan to
center).
Solo
Each Solo button lets audio be monitored for the
channel of which it is a part, while simultane-
ously muting all other Hardware Input channels
and Software Returns (except for those that also
have their Solo buttons activated).
Mute
The Mute buttons are used to individually turn
off audio monitoring for each channel in the
stereo mix.
Channel Faders
The Channel Faders control the monitoring vol-
ume level of each channel in the stereo mix.
Channel Labels
By default, the Channel Labels show the input
name of each channel (1–8), except for the Mas-
ter fader pair (which is labeled L/R by default).
Clicking on a Channel Label gives you a cursor,
allowing you to type in your own custom chan-
nel name (such as “guitar,” “vocals,” etc.).
The Channel Labels also display the signal level
(in dB) while a fader is being adjusted.
Link
The Link buttons connect stereo pairs of knobs
or faders (and also links the corresponding FX
Send knobs), so that adjusting either channel
(left/right) adjusts the other side identically.
Effects
The Effects section is where you set up “send-
and-return” configurations, and select the ef-
fects that you apply to the Hardware Inputs
and/or Software Returns.
Hardware Input FX Sends
FX Sends are shared by all Stereo Mixes, unless
“Post-Fader Stereo Mix 1” is chosen in the Setup
pop-up menu.
Software Return FX Sends
FX Sends are shared by all Stereo Mixes, unless
“Post-Fader Stereo Mix 1” is chosen in the Setup
pop-up menu.
Pan controls are unaffected by linking two
channels.
