The
gang button
, marked with a “G,” sets the gang mode. If you are in gang mode,
the mute buttons and nominal level buttons will work together for the left and right
channels; for example, clicking the mute on one channel activates the mute button
on the other channel. Also, ganging the faders ties them together so they will
maintain their relative placement with regard to each other. Holding down the
Shift key temporarily reverses the state of the gang button; that is, if the gang
button is down, holding down shift puts you in non-ganged mode and vice versa.
Analog Inputs
The controls for the analog inputs are outlined in red and have the label “Analog
in” at the bottom. There is one strip, or
input channel
, corresponding to each of
Layla3G’s eight physical analog inputs. The input level meters and nominal level
buttons remain viewable at all times, whereas the input monitor controls (pan,
mute, faders and gang) that are viewable will change depending on which output
bus is currently selected.
The topmost control is a button labeled “+4”; this button allows you to select the
nominal level for this analog input. Since the button currently reads “+4,” it is
ready to accept a +4 dBu signal. Click the button to change this input to –10 dBV
mode. This button will affect the level of what you record as well as the monitor
level. Below the “nominal level” button is the peak meter for this channel, labeled
in decibels. Once again, these are visible at all times. Please note that there are no
nominal level buttons for inputs 1 and 2 since they have trim knobs on the front of
the audio interface box.
For Gina3G, you will find a phantom power button labeled “+48v” at the top of the
input channel for analog inputs 1 and 2. This button toggles the phantom power on
and off for the universal inputs (1 and 2).
The input monitor controls are a little more complicated. Basically, there is
a
different set of input monitor controls for each output bus
, but
only one set is
viewable and changeable at a time
. In the example above, the only set of input
monitor controls that is viewable and changeable is the one for the output bus
called “Analog out 1/2". To see and change a different set of input monitor controls
you will need to select a different output bus (see the “Bus Select” section above).
