1. Activate Button. To completely remove any channel from a Z-Mix, simply

deactivate the Z-Mix object for that channel. In most instances, you will leave this

enabled.

2. Horizontal Level Fader. This is the channel’s Z-Mix Volume control. By default

this level will be identical to the level set on the channel’s fader. Once you

move the Z-Mix level fader, the volume of that channel in the Z-Mix will be

independent of the main mix or any other Cue Mix in the session.

3. Pan Control. This sets the pan position for the channel in the Z-Mix outputs. Like

volume, panning is identical to the main mix by default.

4. Lock to Channel Button. By default, the Lock to Channel button is enabled,

and level and pan values are locked to the Channel level and pan controls for

the Main Mix. This means that each Z-Mix will be identical to the Main Mix in the

Console. Changing the level or panning in the Main Mix will change the level

or panning in the Z-Mix. However, changing the level or panning in the Z-Mix

object will unlock both settings, allowing independent control of level and

panning for each channel in each Z-Mix. Thus, the level and panning for channels

in a Z-Mix can be completely diﬀerent from the related level and pan in the

Main Mix. At any time, you can lock the Z-Mix level and pan back to the channel

settings by clicking on the Lock to Channel button.
