Remote controlling the Main Mixer
There are two ways of Remote controlling the Main Mixer: one channel at a time, for detailed control of the parame-
ters of one mixer channel at a time, or multiple channels simultaneously, for balancing levels etc.
Remote controlling a single mixer channel
You can control a single mixer channel, either by locking your control surface to the mixer channel, or by setting Mas-
ter Keyboard Input to the mixer channel’s track in the sequencer.
For example, if you set Master Keyboard Input to the audio track you’re recording on, you will be able to adjust the
monitor level and other parameters of the channels you're using when recording.
The extensive Remote control functionality in Record allows for detailed control of the parameters of one mixer chan-
nel at a time.
Remote controlling multiple mixer channels
The typical way of remote controlling the Main Mixer is to control the Master Section (by setting Master Keyboard In-
put to the Master Section track in the track list, or typically by locking your control surface). This lets you control the
Master Section parameters plus mixer parameters for a number of channels (often 8 channels at a time, depending
on the control surface). To define what channels to remote control at a given time, you need to set the “Remote Base
Channel”.
Setting the Remote Base Channel
The first (leftmost) mixer channel controlled by Remote is called the "Remote Base Channel". The current Remote
Base Channel is indicated by a yellow arrow symbol in the mixer channel strip Header section:
The Remote Base Channel indicator.
To change the Remote Base Channel, proceed as follows:
D Select a mixer channel and select “Set Remote Base Channel” from the Edit menu or context menu.
The Remote Base Channel indicator will move to the selected mixer channel.
D Alternatively, change Remote Base Channel via Remote (in steps of 1 or 8 channels).
Functions for changing the Remote Base Channel may already be mapped to buttons on your control surface -
see the “Control Surface Details” pdf document. If not, you can set this up manually in the Additional Remote Over-
rides dialog on the Options menu - see “Additional Remote Overrides...”.
