The main section contains all controls for controlling the main mix elements as well as a “TV
screen” for viewing the parameters of the current selected insert.
The three buttons across the top of the main section select what is shown on the TV display.
Input and output routings are graphically displayed. When an insert is selected (by clicking on
the insert), the screen shows the available parameters for the currently selected insert.
Below the TV screen is the Aux Bus section where effects, effects chains or other inserts can be
assigned to the two aux buses. Send and return levels can be individually controlled for each of
the two Aux Buses.
The Aux 1 and Aux 2 buses are fed by the two Aux Sends on each mixer strip. The Master
Send Level control on Aux bus 1 and 2 can be used to attenuate or boost the signal going into
the Auxiliary Inserts. There is also a Master Return Level to control the amount of the effected
signal that will be returned into the main mix.
The Main Bus can also have a chain of effects inserted. (You might put an EQ effect here to
equalize your entire mix or add an ASIO or WAVE send to record the mix.) Note that the Main
Output level control comes before the Monitor Level so that you can control the monitor level
without affecting the level of your recording mix or main mix. There is a stereo peak meter that
indicates the signal strength for the main mix.
The Monitor section has a volume, balance, and a mute control to cut off the monitor output.
