Master Fader and Output Meters
As discussed, the master fader adjusts the output level of the LR, the
aux masters, the reverb and delay master sends, the sub outs and VCAs
depending on which output is selected. While one fader controls the
output level of each output, each output is independent of the others.
Once the selected output has been chosen, touch and drag the master
fader up and down to make adjustments.
The output meter displays the output signal level. The output meter
is presented in mono or stereo depending on the selected output.
It is stereo for LR and linked auxes and FX sends. Subgroups, VCAs,
unlinked auxes and FX sends are presented in mono. How to link
auxes and FX sends is discussed on page 71.
Speaking of FX, if reverb or delay is selected, the fader controls the master
send into the corresponding FX processor.
This meter should remain green with the occasional bump into the yellow
zone. The output meters are post-fader, so if there is too much yellow
(or any red clipping), lower the master fader until it’s gone and check
the input channels, as well.
Red [clipping] = –3 dBFS
Green to yellow = –18 dBFS
Green [bottom] = –90 dBFS
The color of the currently selected output will surround the channel strips [L/R default is white].
To the left of the output meters is a column of numbers. In order from top to bottom, these indicate
the channel’s routing assignments for VCAs and mute groups. As seen above, these numbers illuminate
when outputs are routed there.
Solo
If the selected output is anything other than LR, a solo button appears just underneath the master fader’s
meters. Soloing oers the opportunity to audition the selected output and make any necessary level adjust-
ments to the inputs. The output solo is AFL, so the fader level will aect the signal you hear in the head-
phones.
The solo button illuminates orange when engaged and is gray when disengaged.
When any output solo is engaged, not only will that solo button be engaged, but a solo indicator
will also appear on the navigation bar above the quick access panel, see below. Because this is
always shown (and could be considered distracting), we’ve named it the “rude solo” button. Tap
the solo button again to disengage or tap the quick access panel to show the clear solo button
allowing you to clear ALL solos with a single tap.
