Output Channels
– Virtual faders control the individual channel output levels. The
output faders correspond to their respective analog hardware outputs. When the
main/aux
button is set to
main
, the Output Channel gets its signal from the bus
assignments selected on the
mixer
page. (See “Main/Aux Button,” below.)
Balance Controls
– The
bal
control allows you to adjust the balance of the associated
pair’s stereo output.
Linking
- Stereo pairs can be linked together with the
link
button. Once the channel is
linked (the button turns blue), grabbing and moving one fader will move both faders in
unison.
Main/Aux Button –
When the
main/aux
button is in the
main
position (the button turns
blue), the associated analog or S/PDIF outputs carry their respective bus signals, as
determined by the routing selected on the
mixer
page. When the main/aux button is in
the aux position, the button turns green. The associated analog or S/PDIF output pair
receives the signal routed to the
aux L
and
aux R
busses (see
aux send
from the
mixer
page above).
Mute button
- Selecting the
mute
button (the button turns red) will cause that channel
pair to cease audio output. Deselecting the
mute
button will resume audio output on that
channel pair.
Solo button –
Selecting the
solo
button (the button turns yellow) will cause all other
channels to cease audio output; deselecting the
solo
button will resume audio output on
all channels. Multiple solo selections are possible.
Aux Output Master Channel –
The
aux
output master channel controls the output
functions of signals routed to the
aux L
and
aux R
buses. Both channel faders can be
linked together with the
link
button. The
bal
control allows you to adjust the left/right
balance of the stereo signal.
When using the
aux L
and
aux R
sends
in conjunction with the
aux
output master
channel, you must select an output channel pair to be the aux
output by setting the
main/aux
switch on the selected channel to the
aux
position. See in section 10, “Adding
Effects While Direct Monitoring” and “Using the Aux Send As a Separate Monitor Mix,”
later in this manual.
NOTE
that there are no
ctrl
buttons available on the
phones
channels, since the
headphone outputs have their own dedicated level controllers.
Aux Channel Balance
– The
bal
control allows you to adjust the balance of the
associated pair’s stereo output.
Aux Channel Mute
- Selecting the aux
mute
button (the button turns red) will cause the
aux
channel to cease audio output. Deselecting the
mute
button will resume audio output.
Headphone Output Channels
– These channels control the functions of the FireWire
1814’s two headphone busses,
phones 1
and
phones 2
.
