THE MIXES TAB
Click the
Mixes
tab (Figure 7-3) to gain
access to the MicroBook’s four stereo mix
busses. The Mixes tab displays one mix
bus at a time: choose each mix from the
Mix bus menu
in the tab itself. Each fader
represents an input to the mix, except the
fader on the right, which is the master
fader for the mix. To assign each mix to a
MicroBook output, visit the Outputs tab.
Aux 1-2
Inputs consist of physical inputs on the
MicroBook interface (mic, guitar, etc.),
but there is also a stereo input channel for
Aux 1-2
. This is audio being routed to the
MicroBook from your host audio
software. By bringing up this fader, you
can combine live inputs (mic, guitar, and
line 1-2) with any audio from the
computer.
Stereo grouping
The input channel strips in the Mixes tab
can represent either a mono input
channel or a stereo pair. For the line
inputs, this is controlled by their
grouping in the Inputs tab, using the
Mono/Stereo buttons in the channel
strips for the line inputs (Figure 7-2).
