Description
Pan L/R Use this control to set the left/right position of the channel in the stereo field. [Ctrl]-click (win) or [Cmd]-click
(Mac) the Pan knob to reset to the default “0” (center position).
Width Width will only be available on stereo channels. It allows you to control the width of the stereo field for the channel.
Normally this is fully on (value 127) which represents full stereo. By decreasing this value the stereo width is nar-
rowed. Turned fully off the channel output will be in mono.
MUTE/SOLO buttons Clicking a channel’s Mute button silences the output of that channel. Click the button again to unmute the chan-
nel.
Clicking a channel’s Solo button silences all other mixer channels, so that you only hear the soloed channel. Sev-
eral channels can be soloed at the same time, but if this is the case, note that soloed channels can’t be muted with
the Mute button. To mute one of several channels in solo mode you simply “un-solo” it. There are also Mute/Solo
All Off buttons in the Master Section - see “Master Section Header”.
Channel Fader The channel fader is used to control the output level of each channel.
By adjusting the faders, you can set the desired mix (balance) between channels.
Channel Meter The meter is a graphical representation of the channel output level. Stereo channels have dual level bars and
mono channels one. If the signal level pushes the meter into the red, try lowering either the output level of the de-
vice connected to the channel device, or the channel fader itself, to avoid distortion. The meter is a VU meter, tak-
ing into account any VU offset set in the Big Meter of the Record Hardware Device - see “The Big Meter”.
