Chapter 18 : Mixer View : Navigation Bar
Introduction
Just how important is the navigation bar? It’s so important that it is always available regardless of what
view is currently displayed. Want more? Not only is it always available, but it is right on top in plain sight!
Not at the bottom or tucked away in some corner. It’s a banner announcing (and awaiting) your choice.
Interestingly, though, there are no faders here; EQ, gates and compressors and FX live elsewhere, etc.
Think of the navigation bar as the brains behind the operation. We’ll work our way left to right, starting
with the three views: overview, mixer view and channel view.
We will just recap these three views as they were already discussed in great detail on pages
17-21.
Overview
When tapped, the overview button turns dark gray to indicate that it has been selected.
The mixer view and channel view buttons will remain light gray.
The overview displays all important functions of all input and output channels at one time in one place.
Once a show is set up, this is the place to be. If any issues arise, you can easily spot it here in the overview,
head to the aected channel and x it immediately.
The overview is divided into four main rows:
• Master Outputs
• Matrix + Groups
• Inputs 1
• Inputs 2
The following are displayed on every channel of every row:
• Mute
• Meter (except VCAs)
• Gain Reduction Meter (except VCAs)
• Fader
• Solo
• Mix Select Color
• Channel System Name
• Channel User Name
• Channel Color
A mix selector below each output displays the mix for that output on the input channel faders.
Touching any channel takes you right to the channel view to make adjustments.
Mixer View
When tapped, the mixer view button turns dark gray to indicate that it has been selected.
The overview and channel view buttons will remain light gray.
The mixer view is exactly what it sounds like; it’s a view of the mixer! The key mixing controls of every input
and output for the mixers exist here. All channel strips (plus the FX, sub outs, VCA outs, iPad [DL1608 and
DL806] and return [DL32R] channel strips) are present along with a thumbnail view of each channel’s input
routing view, EQ curve, gain reduction meter, pan slider, mute, fader level, input meters, solo and channel
name, image and color.
So the mixer view is where you adjust the key mixing controls for all channels at once. If you would like to
adjust the individual channel processing, you need to go to the channel view.
