iPad / Playback [DL1608 and DL806]
Now let’s take a look at the iPad channel strip since it operates slightly dierent than the input channel
strips. To get here, ick or drag left anywhere in the mixer view swipe zone until the iPad channel appears.
The dierences between the input channel strips and iPad channel strip are noted below. Channel 16 was
left in the image on purpose to easily see the side-by-side dierence between an input channel strip and the
iPad channel strip. The only dierences between the iPad channel and input channels is that the iPad
channel does not have a HPF or gate and it defaults as a stereo channel (but may be unlinked to make two
separate mono iPad channels). Otherwise, they are totally the same. Take a look below:
No High-Pass Filter — There is no high-pass lter on the iPad channel, so it will be absent in the EQ view
for this channel.
One Gain Reduction Meter — A compressor is available on the iPad channel, but not a gate, so a single
gain reduction meter will be displayed instead of two.
Stereo Meters — Since the iPad channel is stereo linked by default, the meters are shown in stereo, not
mono. Also of note is the absence of a clipping LED. This is because the digital input from an iPad doesn’t
clip.
The default setting is a single stereo iPad channel. However, it may be unlinked to make
two separate mono iPad channels. This is ideal for isolating click tracks and backing tracks,
for example. In this example, the drummer would receive the click track and backing tracks,
while the rest of the band and audience would hear only the backing tracks.
Unlinking the iPad channel is easy. After tapping the iPad Channel ID button, you will see an option
to “Unlink iPad 1 and iPad 2”. Tap it! A popover will display asking you to conrm. Follow the same
steps outlined above to link the iPad channel.
