Master Fader
The Master Fader
normally controls the output of the
Master L/R Buss.
However, in surround the Master Fader
controls the six surround mix busses.
With all the surround busses ganged to
the Master Fader, overall level can be
controlled for stem recording and, if
necessary, surround monitoring (for
example, if you don’t have a dedicated
surround monitoring box).
Mixdown Mode
With Surround
Mode enabled, Mixdown take names
will reflect six tracks (or four for
Quad). For example, the files of a 5.1
Surround mixdown will have the fol-
lowing designations:
FL
(Front Left),
FC
(Front Center),
FR
(Front Right),
RL
(rear Left),
RR
(Rear Right), and
BM
(Boom). Mixdowns are partially man-
aged from the
Global
tab of the VGA
Tracks
screen (for more on mixing
down, see “The SX-1 and Mixdown
Mode” on page 170).
