Presets
The Preset view lets you load and save Mbox Pro
Settings files. This is useful if you'd like to save
various configurations of the Control Panel so
that you do not have to manually reconfigure
your system each time you work on a different
type of project.
For example, you could save the following pre-
sets:
• A preset for live tracking, in stereo (low-la-
tency/direct monitoring, and/or for dis-
crete headphone mixes).
• A preset for mixing in stereo (alternate
speakers, etc.).
• A preset for working in multi-channel/sur-
round.
Load Button
The Load Button opens a file browser that lets
you load a previously saved Settings file.
Save as...
The Save as button opens a file browser that lets
you save the current settings of the Driver Con-
trol Panel to a Settings file.
Layouts
The Layout drop-down menu lets you choose
what information you would like the Driver
Control Panel to show, and how you would like
that information to be displayed. There are four
layouts to select from:
Horizontal
The Horizontal layout is the default layout. It
shows all knobs, faders, meters and buttons in a
layout similar to that of a mixing console. The
Horizontal layout is used for all the screen cap-
tures in this chapter.
Horizontal (Meters Only)
The Meters Only layout emphasizes pre-fader
hardware input and software return metering,
but does not provide access to the stereo mixers.
