Master output bus control: The master bus control is the area outlined in
purple. At the bottom is the label “Analog out 1-2.” This indicates you are
currently controlling everything mixed to analog outputs 1 and 2. These
channels correspond to the currently selected button on the bus select panel.
The two buttons labeled “+4” are the nominal level select buttons. Since
they both read “+4,” this indicates these outputs are sending a +4dBu
(professional level) signal. To send a –10dBV (consumer level) signal, click
the button. This feature allows you to connect either professional or
consumer gear to each output.
The mute buttons and faders affect everything being mixed to this bus.
Thus, pulling the fader down will make both the input monitors and
playback quieter.
The gang button, marked with a “G,” sets the gang mode. If you are in gang
mode, the mute buttons and nominal level buttons will work together; for
example, clicking the mute on one channel activates the mute button on the
other channel. Also, ganging the faders ties them together so they will
maintain their relative placement with regard to each other.
Analog inputs: The controls for the analog inputs are outlined in red and
have the label “Analog in” at the bottom. There is one strip, or input
monitor, corresponding to each of Layla24’s eight physical analog inputs.
The controls affect the audio going to the currently selected output bus; in
this case audio is sent to outputs Analog 1 and 2.
The topmost control is a button labeled “+4”; this button allows you to select
the nominal level for this analog input. Since the button currently reads
“+4,” it is ready to accept a +4 dBu signal. Click the button to change this
input to –10 dBV mode. This button will affect the level of what you record
as well as the monitor level.
Below the “nominal level” button is the peak meter for this channel, labeled
in decibels. The red segment of the peak meter starts at –3 dB and the yellow
starts at –12 dB. Under the peak meter is the monitor pan slider; this pans
the input channel between the two channels of the output bus. Holding
down the Ctrl key and clicking on a pan slider will set the slider to the center
