Choosing a mix
To view mix, choose it from the Mix Selector menu
above the master fader, as shown in Figure 13-1.
The mix name appears in the tab at the bottom of
the window.
Naming a mix
Choose the mix from the Mix Selector menu, and
then double-click the name tab below the channel
strip section (Figure 13-1) to type in a new name.
Master mute
The master mute button (Figure 13-1) temporarily
disables (silences) the mix.
Master fader
The master fader (Figure 13-1) controls the overall
level of the mix (its volume on its stereo output).
Use the individual input faders to the left to control
individual input levels.
Mix and Output level meters
There are two sets of level meters to the right of the
master fader: MIX and OUT. The MIX meters
show you the overall mix output. The OUT level
meters show you the level of the physical outputs
for the mix, which may include audio from your
host audio software. Use the CLEAR CLIPs button
to clear the clip indicators on these meters.
Input section
The channel strips to the left of the master fader
represent each input in your PCI-424 system. Use
the input scroll bar to view additional inputs. All
inputs currently available on all connected
interfaces will be available in this scrollable section
of the window.
Input mute/solo
To add an input to a mix, or remove it, click its
MUTE button. To solo it, use its SOLO button. To
toggle these buttons for a stereo pair, hold down
the command key while clicking either channel.
The Solo indicator LED (Figure 13-1) lights up
when any input is soloed (including inputs that
may currently be scrolled off-screen).
☛ The Global Mute buttons above the channel
strips (just below the message center) enable or
disable the input globally. For details, see “Global
mute and trim” on page 114.
Input volume and pan
Use the input fader and pan knob (Figure 13-1) to
adjust these settings for the input in the mix. Again,
all settings within the gray-shaded channel strip
area belong to the mix currently being viewed.
Note that an input can have different settings in
different mixes.
To adjust the volume or panning for a stereo input
pair, hold down the command key while dragging
the fader or knob for either the left or right input.
