Set channel strip volume levels in MainStage
You can set the volume level of each channel strip independently.
Set a channel strip’s volume level
In MainStage, do one of the following:
• Drag the Volume fader up or down.
• Option-click the Volume fader to return it to a neutral level (0 dB gain).
• Hold down Shift while dragging the Volume fader to change the volume level in
finer increments.
The level meter, located to the right of the Volume fader, shows the channel strip output
volume as the project plays. When you play, watch the level meter to make sure the
channel strip volume is not too high.
Mute and solo channel strips in MainStage
You can silence (mute) a channel strip so that you don’t hear it when you play the patch.
Muting channel strips is useful when you want to compare how the patch sounds with and
without the target instrument.
You can also listen to a channel strip signal alone (solo), silencing all other channel strips.
Mute a channel strip
• In MainStage, click the channel strip’s Mute button.
The Mute button turns blue. Click the button a second time to restore the channel strip to
its previous level.
