Channel Strip Sections Common to All Layer Modes 
The bottom section of all channel strips is the same in all modes. 
PAN/BALANCE/ROTATION KNOB 
Pans a mono signal between left and right when sent to a stereo buss. The stereo panner/rotator controls the 
balance of a stereo signal or moves the image without changing its internal balance.  
CHANNEL MUTE 
A user-selected Mute for a specific channel will be solid red. A Mute activated by a DCA fader or asolo will flash 
red. 
•  When a mute button on a channel is flashing, click it again un-mute it. 
CHANNEL SOLO   
Activates a send to the Solo buss for channel monitoring. Clear all instances with the Clear Solo button on the 
Top Bar.  
FADER 
When the fader is touched, its position value is displayed above the fader. Set pre-fader or post-fader metering 
in the Setup window. 
When under the control of a link fader, the channel fader stays in its original position, while the DCA offset value 
is shown as a “ghost fader.” 
ALT+Click to return a fader to its default position. Range: -144 dB to +10 dB
