Inputs
When the Inputs option is active (when the button is blue), only the input gains are 
displayed. This option enables increased resolution of the gain faders and level meters by 
increasing the vertical space devoted to the input channels (versus the Both option).

Outputs
When the Outputs option is active (when the button is blue), only the output gains are 
displayed.

Tip: The Inputs and Outputs view options enable increased resolution of the gain 
faders and level meters by increasing the vertical size of these elements.

Both
This view option displays all input and output gains in the Current Bank. The vertical size 
of the gain faders is reduced in this view.

Default
This option facilitates the ability to quickly set one or more displayed gain levels to 0 dB 
(unity gain). When the Default button is latched, click any gain fader (or anywhere within 
a channel column) to set its gain to 0 dB.
Note that gain values can be returned to 0 dB without using the Default option. To set 
a gain value to 0 dB within any screen in Gains View or Channel View, click any 
gain fader.

Important: 

Gain changes using either of these methods cannot be undone.

Isolate
Isolate prevents a channel’s 
active settings from being 
modified when a Snapshot (a 
Live Rack configuration file) is 
loaded.
Isolate is typically used to 
prevent channel adjustments 
made during a live performance 
from being overwritten by 
Snapshot changes.
When Isolate is latched, click 
any column modifier to isolate 
the channel. Click again to 
de‑isolate the channel. 
When a channel is isolated, the 
text “[ISO]” appears beneath the bank channel name in the Channels Bar.

Tip: Channel isolations can also be set in Inserts View.
