Routing Signal to Outputs
You may first want to check signal through the system using an external audio source, such
as a noise generator or CD player.

2. Open the Inputs window. Locate the input number where you’ve inserted your audio source.
You should see green meter activity indicating signal present.

down the Control key (Command on Mac) while you hit the Enter key. The entire row is now
filled with zeros.
7. Open the Output Masters window. To the left, there is a Global Mute button (has the letter
‘M’ on it). Click this button to mute all outputs. Unmute the first output channel you would
like to listen to.
