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!
