3. SOLO buttons 

 

 

  

-

 

with these SOLO buttons you can listen to any element of your 
stereo mix (stereo signal), mono-ed out (for L, R, M & S) and 
phase-corrected (for SOLO S only), and on BOTH SPEAKERS. 

-

 

You can also “extract” certain elements of your mix with these 
knobs easily, for example try recording or bouncing the SOLO S 
signal for REMIX purposes… which will give you a phase-corrected 
mono-signal of only the stereo information (keyboards, stereo, 
guitars, FX sounds, etc.)!!! 

 
 
 
4. BALANCE CONTROL 

 

 

  

-

 

with this knob you can “tilt” the whole stereo image conveniently. 

-

 

to balance out a stereo mix perfectly you can monitor the 
BALANCE METER LEDs (see 8!) and adjust the BALANCE 
CONTROL knob until your mix is CENTERED. 

-

 

most mixes that come from ANALOGUE MIX CONSOLES or 

went through analogue outboard equipment (compressors, 
EQs, etc.) are NOT balanced perfectly. With the bx_control 
and its BALANCE CONTROL knob (plus the corresponding LED 
meters, see 8) you can easily fix that. 

-

 

 the easiest way to “center” a mix is to listen to SOLO S 

while adjusting the BALANCE CONTROL. When all parts of the 
mix that are supposed to be centered (bass-drum, bass, lead 
vocals, etc.) are NOT audible during SOLO S your mix IS 
centered properly!
