Figure 11.14: Menu bar “Monitor” menu: “Monitor Controller Slaves to PFL/AFL” control
Folks who spend most of their time in DAWs working in ‘Solo-In-Place’ mode should take note of
this feature. This setting is found in the ‘Monitor’ menu bar pull-down.
When the Mixer is in one of the PFL/AFL modes, this setting makes the Monitor Controller play back
the ‘Solo’ bus whenever Solo is engaged. This is the most common default mode for PFL/AFL use
on a hardware console.
De-selecting this control leaves the MC Source uninterrupted when Solo is engaged.
This function is also available separately for each of the Cue Controller sends, so you could have,
say, a Cue or two slaved to the PFL/AFL Solo bus, while not interrupting the control room ‘Main’
bus mix for a producer.
Cue Controller default configuration
The Cue Controller window defaults with the Talkback Source for Cues unassigned.
There is one Cue Controller (named “Control Room Headphone”) set up to source audio from the currently
selected Monitor Controller Source, with the output routed to the box #1 headphone jack.
Summary of Cue Controller default settings
• Cue Controller is visible
• Cue Controller Source: stereo, ’MC Source’ (Cue source follows Monitor Controller source selection)
• Talkback Source: unassigned (which is why the "Talkback" trigger button is grayed out)
• Cue Controller Graph: passthrough
• Cue Controller Output: stereo, assigned to box #1 headphone output L/R
