Chapter 6: Mixer View : Channel Strips
Introduction
The mixer view contains 16 channel faders, two FX channel faders [one reverb, one delay]
and one iPad channel fader. Each channel strip looks and functions exactly like the others
except for the FX and iPad channels.
These faders may be seen in both the mixer view and channel view. In the mixer view, all faders
are readily available, while in the channel view it is the current channel’s fader strip that is displayed
along with whatever digital signal processing is taking place for that channel.
The mixer view displays eight channels at a time, as well as the navigation bar and master fader.
Take a look at the image below. It is the fi rst visual you will see when booting up the Master Fader app
for the fi rst time.
The Swipe Zone
Here in the mixer view, drag or fl ick left or right anywhere in the background of the outlined area
[below the pans and above the solo buttons] to view all 16 channel faders, the two FX channel faders
and one iPad channel fader.
Let’s look at one of the channel faders fi rst, discussing each of its features top to bottom. We will then take
a look at the FX and iPad channels and go over how and why they’re diff erent than the 16 channel faders.
