At the top of the analog inputs are two pan knobs that pan the input channel
between the two channels of the output bus. Holding down the Ctrl key and
clicking on a pan slider will set the knob to the center position. Note that
this does not affect your recording. Below the pan knob is the monitor mute.
This controls whether or not you want this input channel to be mixed
directly out to the currently selected output bus. Again, this does not affect
recording. However, if you leave the mutes off and your software is capable
of direct monitoring, you are likely to hear a phasing effect in your main
outputs. This phasing effect is not recorded either. This is followed by the
monitor fader, which controls the input monitor level. Like the pan and
mute controls, this does not affect your record level. Also, clicking on the
readout below the fader will allow you to numerically enter a fader setting.
The analog inputs also have gang buttons, and their operation is the same as
the gang button for the master outputs except that when the gang button is
engaged, the pan knobs will mirror each other when turned.
The virtual outputs are used to control the level of audio being played by an
application. The Indigo ExpressCard Console has multiple playback strips –
one for each virtual output. Each playback strip allows you to pan, mute and
change the level of the audio signal that is being sent to your Indigo
ExpressCard’s physical outputs. The controls operate in the same way as the
analog input controls described above. Each virtual output can be mixed in
any combination to your Indigo ExpressCard’s analog outputs.
Adjusting Playback Volume
Output volume adjustments are made in the digital domain. When you lower
a volume fader below 0dB, you are actually decreasing the number of
available bits, thereby taking away from the potential dynamic range of the
system. Therefore, we suggest that whenever possible you leave the output
faders set to 0dB, and perform any necessary attenuation with the volume
knob on your Indigo ExpressCard or with an external mixer. When the
playback volume controls are set to 0dB and the input signal approaches the
maximum pre-clipping level, you can achieve the full 24-bit dynamic range
of the system.
