Figure 10.135: “Main Mix:” configuration menu
Channel layouts for the Main Mix bus are available from Mono to 7.1. Note that having a 5.1 SMPTE/
ITU Main Mix bus does not preclude you from having Input Strips, Auxes, Group buses or Monitor
Controller outputs in mono, stereo or other surround channel configurations.

Solo Mode:
The
Solo Mode:
selector lets you choose between the default Solo-In-Place mode and your choice
of PFL, AFL, PFL (mono) or AFL (mono) solo operation modes.
The PFL/AFL modes instantiate a stereo Solo Bus strip at the left end of the Mixer desk. The PFL/
AFL Solo bus offers “To Host” return routes and Insert processor slots, with routing available for
Main and Group buses and hardware outputs.
Figure 10.136: “Solo Mode:” configuration menu
Solo modes ‘Pre-Fader Listen’ and ‘After-Fader Listen’ follow the usual self-descriptive rule: ‘PFL’
sends Pre-Fader/Panner signal to the Solo Bus, and ‘AFL’ sends Post-Fader/Panner. The PFL/AFL
Mono modes send a summed mono signal to the Solo bus.
•
Hard Mutes:
‘Hard Mute’ controls are Disabled and hidden from Mixer strips by default. Enabling “Hard Mutes”
places a big white square button at the top of every Input and Bus strip in the mixer, just below
the Input routing selector. ‘Hard Mutes’, when enabled, will kill
all
audio routes through the strip,
including signal to ‘Pre-Insert To Host’ return routes, Insert processes, Direct Outs and all assigned
buses.
Note that enabling ‘Hard Mute’ does not take the place of, or otherwise affect regular Fader Mute
operation.
