Preparing to Mix
One module’s name is always outlined with a white line. This corresponds
to the track with the focus. You can change the focus by clicking to the right
of the module’s volume fader.
You can adjust Console view controls in the following ways:
• Click on the center of the knob and drag the mouse up or down to
adjust the knob

• Double-click the center of the knob to return it to its snap-to position
Volume and pan faders also have snap-to positions; double-click a fader’s
