Main Inserts<br />
The main inserts allow you to apply effects to the main stereo signal coming out of the<br />
mixer (both mains and monitor). You might want to apply EQ or a compressor here.<br />
These inserts work just like the other insert locations—just drag and drop effects from<br />
the palette or right-click and add Sends, Sends/Returns. etc. Refer to the Mixer Block<br />

Main Output Fader<br />
The main output fader controls the level of the main output (and the Monitor output<br />
as well since it is downstream from this control). The normal setting for this control is<br />
at unity or 0dB, but the control allows you to add up to +12dB of gain. High output<br />
levels may cause clipping on outboard amplifiers or other equipment.<br />
Output Level Meters<br />
This stereo bar-graph meter reflects the digital level at the output of the mixer. The<br />
topmost red bar represents 0 dB or a full-scale digital signal. The peaks hold for a<br />
moment so that short transients can be monitored. Each bar = 1dB.<br />
Monitor Output Level<br />
This control adjusts the monitor output level. Keep in mind that since the monitor level<br />
control comes after the Main Output Fader, nothing will be heard from your monitors<br />
if the main level is turned down.<br />
Monitor Balance Control<br />
This control sets the relative volume of the stereo monitor outputs and works just like<br />
the balance control on your home music system. This control is primarily used to make<br />
the volume from each speaker sound equal if you are not sitting exactly in the center of<br />
the two speakers.<br />
Monitor Output Mute<br />
This button completely cuts off the monitor output and provides a convenient way to<br />
instantly kill all sound without having to re-adjust the monitor level later. When the<br />
telephone rings, just hit the monitor mute to cut the noise.<br />
