Chapter 6 Logic’s Mixing Facilities 305
Moving the master fader does not affect the position of the Output Object sliders, but
rather, the signal levels directly. These level changes are reflected in the level meters of
each Output channel. The Output Object features the following elements: grouping,
automation, Level, and Mute.
Audio Configuration
Audio Configuration Window
The Audio Configuration window can be accessed via Audio > Audio Configuration, and
Options > Audio Configuration in the Audio window.
The Audio Configuration window provides an overview of the Input/Output routing, as
well as all inserts and sends of all Audio Objects that exist in the Environment (for a
given audio hardware device). The various Object types are listed, with names shown
on the left, and settings shown in columns. It makes no difference whether you change
settings in the Audio Configuration window, the Track Mixer or the Environment (Audio
Mixer); the setup will be instantly reflected in all locations. Use whichever you prefer.
The Audio Configuration window also shows the settings of any deleted or unused
Audio Objects. If you create an Audio Object in the Environment (New > Audio Object),
and then select the Channel, it will appear (with the currently assigned settings) and
can be edited, in the Audio Configuration window.
Just as in the Object type pull-down menu of the Object Parameter box (which opens
when you click-hold the Channel parameter), a channel setting displayed in bold type
indicates that the channel is in use by an existing Object.
A dot in front of the name indicates that the Object is part of a stereo pair—whether it
is controlled by another Object, or is, itself, the controlling Object.
Handling
Click-holding a parameter opens a pull-down menu that allows you to change settings,
as per the Audio Objects in the Environment (or audio mixer). The top entry in the pull-
down menu always assigns a neutral value for the parameter.
Moving and Copying Plug-Ins from one channel to another
Command-dragging plug-ins from one insert to another copies them along with all
parameter settings. The cursor turns into a hand symbol while doing so. Holding
Option-Command, copies the plug-in settings.
Resetting the Mixer
You can set all parameter types of the Audio Objects (of the selected audio hardware
device) to a neutral default value in the Audio Configuration window. You can select
from among Edit > Remove EQs, Remove Plug-Ins or Remove Sends.
