Apollo Solo USB Manual Console Overview 74
Monitor Column Overview
The Monitor Column (illustrated at right) is always visible at
the right side of the Console window. The Monitor Column
contains elements related to monitor outputs, cue (HP)
outputs, insert effect printing, and session file management.
For detailed descriptions, see Monitor Column.
Monitor Meters
These meters display the signal levels of the monitor mix bus
just before the monitor level control. Levels displayed here
mirror the state of the dual Monitor LED meters on Apollo Solo
USB’s top panel.
Global Insert Effects
These switches globally switch all Console inputs to either
pass UAD insert effect processing to the DAW (print wet) or
not (monitor wet but print dry).
Insert Effects can also be individually switched on a per-
channel basis (see Channel Insert Effects). The Global Insert
Effects switches override the individual channel settings.
Show Strips
These switches show and hide the visibility of the auxiliary
return strips and/or the control room options strip. Each strip
is visible when its SHOW switch is lit.
Cue Outputs Popover
Clicking this switch opens the Cue Outputs Popover, where the
headphone output source (either the main monitor mix or the
HP cue mix) is selected.
Monitor Output Options
The main monitor outputs can be muted and/or set to
monophonic with these switches.
Monitor Level
This is the master level control for Apollo Solo USB’s main outputs. It performs the same
function as the MONITOR knob on Apollo Solo USB’s top panel. When the ring around
the knob is RED, the monitor outputs are muted.
Sessions Menu
Clicking this switch opens the Session Manager popover window, where Console
configuration files are managed.
