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

Main Output Fader<br />
The main output fader controls the level of the main output (and the Monitor output as well<br />
since it is downstream from this control). The normal setting for this control is at unity or 0dB,<br />
but the control allows you to add up to +12dB of gain. High output levels may cause clipping<br />
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 topmost red<br />
bar represents 0 dB or a full-scale digital signal. The peaks hold for a moment so that short<br />
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 if the<br />
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 the<br />
balance control on your home music system. This control is primarily used to make the<br />
volume from each speaker sound equal if you are not sitting exactly in the center of the two<br />
speakers.<br />

Monitor Output Mute<br />
This button completely cuts off the monitor output and provides a convenient way to instantly<br />
kill all sound without having to re-adjust the monitor level later. When the telephone rings,<br />
just hit the monitor mute to cut the noise.<br />
