iPad / Playback
Now let’s take a look at the iPad channel strip since it operates slightly diff erent than channel strips 1-16.
To get here, fl ick or drag left anywhere in the mixer view swipe zone until the iPad channel appears.
The diff erences between the input channel strips and iPad channel strip are noted below. Channel 16
was left in the image on purpose to easily see the side-by-side diff erence between an input channel
strip and the iPad channel strip. The only diff erence between the iPad channel and the FX channels is
that the iPad channel has a gain reduction meter. Otherwise, they are totally the same. Take a look below:
Balance Slider
—
The pan slider becomes a balance slider on the iPad channel, now acting as a stereo
balance. It allows you to adjust how much of the left or right output signals are heard. Touch and drag
the sliders left or right to make adjustments. Center it to hear the output equally from the left and right
sides. The balance may be centered by double-tapping the balance ball.
No High-Pass Filter
—
There is no high-pass fi lter on the iPad channel, so it will be absent in the EQ view
for this channel.
Stereo Meters
—
Since the iPad channel is a stereo channel, the meters are shown in stereo, not mono.
The iPad channel controls the level and EQ from the iPad music library (or any other audio app
on the iPad that supports background audio playback). It’s easy, just follow these instructions:
(1)
—
Make sure that the iPad is attached to the DL1608 for playback, as it will not work in Wi-Fi mode.
(2)
—
Open the audio app of your choice on the iPad by tapping its icon; this could be the music app,
your favorite multitrack DAW, Spotify and more.
