Mixer

3 Band EQ

../../_images/eq.webp

Used for isolating or removing frequencies playing through the channel to aid with mixing multiple tracks into each other

Trim and volume controls

../../_images/trim_master.webp
  • Trim is used for adjusting the overall loudness of a track playing through the channel

  • Volume fader is used for fading the track in and out

Crossfader

../../_images/crossfader.webp

Crossfader is for easily fading between different channels of the mixer with one control instead of using the volume faders, but can be used together with the volume faders for different techniques

Cue controls

../../_images/cue_controls.webp
  • Channel CUE button: when on, the channel audio will be routed to the phones output as well as master, this routing bypasses the volume fader

  • Phones level: adjusts the level of the phones output

  • Cue/Master blend: Allows the user to control how much of the master and how much of the CUE channel they hear through the headphones

  • Split: toggles the mode of the cue output. Split ‘on’ puts the CUE output permanently on one stereo channel and CUE/Master mix on the other
