tab titles will be gray. In this case “Analog 1-2” is the currently selected output
bus. Clicking on an output bus tab simply selects the
settings that are displayed

This means all input monitor parameters such as volume, pan, and mute

to the audio coming out
analog outputs 1 and 2
of AudioFire 8. To select,

them and typing. Below the green label fields are nominal level buttons, mute

mute buttons
and
faders
affect

being mixed to this bus
. Thus, pulling the fader down will make both the input
monitors and playback quieter. The level meters display the amount of signal
being sent out of the selected outputs.
The
gang
button sets the gang mode. If you are in gang mode, the mute buttons

on one channel activates the mute button on the other channel. Also, ganging ties
the faders together so they will maintain their relative placement in regard to each
other.
Playback Controls
The playback controls are to the left of the master output controls and are similarly
labeled, except instead of “Out” they are labeled “Play”. The playback controls
affect the level of audio being played by an application out the currently selected
