MIXER INPUT CHANNEL STRIPS
To access a mixer input channel strip, go to
the Mixing tab (page 16), reveal the side bar
(item #3 on page 16), and show the input
channel in the Mixer Inputs section (32). To
show and hide sections of the channel strip,
such as EQ or the compressor, use the Controls
section of the side bar (item #3 in the Mixing
tab on page 16).
1. Click the input channel name to change
it. Delete the current name to restore the
default name.
2. Provides hardware settings for inputs, if
any, such as preamp gain. If there are no
hardware settings for the assigned input,
this icon is grayed out. If the channel has
been assigned to an input on another
AVB device on the audio network, you can
use these settings to control it remotely.
3. Choose the source for the input channel.
You can also make this setting directly on
the Routing grid (page 15).
4. Create and recall channel strip presets.
5. Toggles the input between mono and a
stereo pair.
6. High Pass Filter with cutoff frequency.
7. Each effect in the channel strip (High Pass
Filter, Gate, EQ, etc.) has an on/off button
on the left and a preset menu on the
right, for managing presets that apply
only to that processing module. For
example, you can create your own EQ
presets for the EQ modules.
8. The Gate processor provides standard
attack, threshold and release controls.
9. The Gate indicator turns red when the
gate is engaged.
10. The EQ section provides four bands of
parametric EQ, each with standard Gain,
Frequency, and Bandwidth settings.
11. The High and Low EQ bands provide a
Shelf filter button for standard high and
low shelf filtering.
12. The thumbnail EQ Graph displays the
currently enabled EQ filters, if any. Click it
to open the full-size, editable EQ Graph
(Figure 9-4 on page 73).
13. The Compressor provides standard
controls for Threshold, Ratio, Attack,
Release and Gain. Normally, the
compressor operates in Peak mode,
where signal peaks determine the input
level. Engage the
RMS button to use RMS
values (a computational method for
determining overall loudness) for the
input level. Engage
Auto makeup gain to
compensate for any gain reduction.
14. Input level and gain reduction meters for
the compressor.
15. The thumbnail Compressor Graph
provides a graphic representation of the
compressor, when enabled. Click it to
open the full-size, editable Compressor
Graph (Figure 9-6 on page 74).
16. Aux 1-2 send.
17. Pan for the Aux 1-2 send. This is enabled
in the Aux mix tab (item #11 on page 17).
18. Solo/Mute. Mute affects all sends as well
as the main channel. Pre-fader sends are
not affected by Mute.
19. Move the fader to adjust level. Double-
click to return to zero (unity gain) or -×.
20. Click the dB scale numbers to make the
fader jump exactly to that level. Click and
drag horizontally to jump consecutive
faders to the same level.
21. Click to type in an exact dB level.
22. Channel pan. For mono inputs, double-
click to center.
23. Main Mix Slider feeds signal to the Main
Mix. Slider is set to 0 dB by default, so all
channel strips are pre-routed to the Main
Mix bus. If a channel is being sent to a
Group (which will eventually be fed to
the Main Mix), drag the slider to -× so it
is not sent to Main Mix directly.
24. Group sends.
25. Makes the input the source for talkback.
26. See “Talkback settings” on page 61.
27. ‘S’ lets you solo the group. ‘PRE’ toggles
the sends between pre- and post-fader
routing, i.e. before or after the channel
fader. PAN enables pan for group sends.
28. The input level meter (behind the fader
handle, 19) can display either pre- or
post-fader levels. Toggle here.
29. Clears all solos.
30. ‘S’ lets you solo the Aux bus. ‘PRE’ toggles
the sends between pre- and post-fader
routing, i.e. before or after the channel
fader. The dots let you toggle the Aux bus
between mono and stereo.
31. This side bar, with the section labels in it,
can be shown or hidden using the Legend
switch in the Controls section of the side
bar (item #3 in the Mixing tab on
page 16).
32. Shows how much DSP power is being
used by the mixer hardware. To free up
DSP bandwidth, try reducing the number
of mixer ins, disabling channel effects,
reverb, etc. See “DSP Usage” on page 77
for more info.
