buttons here either; this is because Mona’s input level is controlled on its
audio interface box.
Below the “nominal level” button is the peak meter for this channel, labeled
in decibels. The red segment of the peak meter starts at –3 dB and the
yellow starts at –12 dB. Under the peak meter is the monitor pan slider; this
pans 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 slider to the
center position. Note that this does not affect your recording. Below the
pan slider 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. This is followed by the monitor fader,
and it 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.
Digital inputs:
The controls for the digital inputs are outlined in light
blue
and have the label “digital in” at the bottom. Their operation is identical to
the analog input controls except the digital input controls don’t include a
nominal level button.
For Layla24, Gina24 and Mona, whether you are monitoring the S/PDIF or
the ADAT inputs depends upon the digital mode you have selected. If you
are in either S/PDIF mode, the S/PDIF inputs will come in digital inputs 1
and 2. If you are in ADAT mode, the ADAT signal will come in on all eight
digital inputs.
Playback strips
: The controls for the level of audio being played by an
application are outlined in
orange
and have the label “playback” at the
bottom. Notice you cannot pan or otherwise redirect here; if you are
playing out of analog 1 and 2 from your application, it will only be sent to
that same bus.
