For details of how to select a side chain pick-off point, see “Side chain” on page 255.

Insert

Input channel insert section provides a send and return out of the signal path, primarily

so that an effects device can be added to the signal’s processing. The send destination

and return source may only be set from the GUI screen, although the INS switch can

be found on both the GUI and also in each input fast strip. This section is optional and

assigned on a channel-by-channel basis.

4 MENU button, opens the Select Side-Chain Source window from which

you can select the side chain source for the selected input channel (see

“Side chain” on page 255). Pressing this button with the Select Side-

Chain Source window open, closes the window.

5 LISTEN/[LSTN] switch, places the side chain pushbutton onto the channel

filter bus, allowing the audio signal to be monitored via headphones. This

effectively replaces the channel solo audio path with a post-filter

(pre-dynamic) signal.

6 Graph, shows the effects of the side chain filter on the signal.

7 Side chain source field, shows you where the side chain of the compressor/

gate is sourced from. If you see the text “internal” here, it means that the

source is from the channel itself.
