The Mixer Controls.
1. The Meter shows the track's RMS (average) and peak output level. While moni-
toring, however, it shows the input level.
2. The Volume control adjusts the track's output level. With multiple tracks selected,
adjusting the volume of one of them will adjust the others as well.
3. The Pan control positions the track's output in the stereo eld. To reset the Pan
control to center, click on its associated triangle. With multiple tracks selected,
adjusting the pan knob for one of them will adjust the others as well.
4. To mute the track's output, turn off the Track Activator switch. With multiple
tracks selected, toggling one of their Track Activators will toggle the others as
well.
5. The Solo switch solos the track by muting all other tracks, but can also be used
for
cueing
. With multiple tracks selected, pressing any of their Solo switches
will solo all of them. Otherwise, tracks can only be soloed one at a time unless
the the
Ctrl
(PC) /
(Mac) modi er is held down or the Exclusive Solo
option in the Record/Warp/Launch Preferences is deactivated.
6. If the Arm Recording button is on, the track is
record-enabled
. With multiple
tracks selected, pressing any of their Arm switches will arm all of them. Other-
wise, tracks can only be armed one at a time unless the the
Ctrl
(PC) /
(Mac) modi er is held down or the Exclusive Arm option in the Record/Warp/
Launch Preferences is deactivated. With Exclusive Arm enabled, inserting an
instrument into a new or empty MIDI track will automatically arm the track.
