When viewing the track channel strip while using an audio track:
The first field defines the input source of the external audio signal, which you can
set to a pair of inputs (Input 1,2–3,4 in Standalone Mode, Input 1,2–31,32 in
Controller Mode) or a single input (Input 1–4 in Standalone Mode, Input 1–32 in
Controller Mode).
The second field shows where the track is routed, which you can change: Out
1,2–7,8 or Out 1–8 in Standalone Mode, Out 1,2–31,32 or Out 1–32 in
Controller Mode. You can also select a submix (Sub 1–8) in Controller Mode.
Note: When set to a mono channel, the left and right channels are summed
post-pan knob. If the pan knob is set to the center position, the left and right
channels will be summed and padded. If the pan knob is set to the maximum
left or right positions, only the respective channel will be sent to the output.
The Inserts field shows any enabled or disabled effects for that track. Tap the
area under Inserts to open a window where you can load, change, and enable
or disable the effects.
Tap Solo or Mute to solo or mute the track (respectively). Alternatively, press
Solo or Mute under the LED meters (MPC X).
To change the audio track’s automation, tap the track automation button
or press Read/Write (MPC X) to cycle through its three states:
When off, the audio track will ignore automation data. If you have already
recorded or entered automation, tapping this will switch between Read (R)
and Write (W) only, but you can override this and turn it off by pressing and
holding Shift while pressing or tapping the button.
Important: If you have already recorded automation and turn it off, the
track will still use the effect and its parameter values at the point where you
turned it off.
When set to Read (R), the audio track will read automation data but will not
record any additional automation over it. (Think of this as a protective
feature to prevent accidental changes to your automation while recording.)
When set to Write (W), the audio track can record automation. (If you have
any Q-Link knobs assigned to automatable parameters, make sure not to
touch any accidentally while you are recording.)
Tip: You can quickly set all programs and audio tracks to the same
automation by tapping the global automation button in the upper-right corner
of the screen. See General Features > Automation to learn about this.
Adjust the pan knob or level slider to change the panning or level of the track.
The green level meter next to the slider shows the track’s current volume level
in dB.
To record-enable the track, tap the Record Arm button or press Rec Arm
(MPC X). When you begin audio recording, the audio signal will be recorded to
this track.
Tip: You can select multiple tracks in the Track View by pressing and holding
Shift while tapping the Arm button to each track.
When viewing the master channel strip:
The first field shows the current master output as a stereo pair (which you can
change).
The Inserts field shows any enabled or disabled effects for that pair of outputs.
Tap the area under Inserts to open a window where you can load, change, and
enable or disable the effects.
Tap Mute to mute the master output.
Adjust the pan knob or level slider to change the panning or level of the master
output. The green level meter next to the slider shows the outputs’ current
volume level in dB.
