the signal from input 1(left) will be monitored by output 1(left), and the
signal from input 2(right) will be monitored by output 2(right). Moving a
pan control will determine how much of the input signal is sent to each
output channel in the selected output pair. Both pan controls and faders can
be reset to default by pressing the
Ctrl
button and left clicking on the
control.
Notice that the monitor controls are labeled at bottom indicating which
input is being monitored and which output they are going to. In the pictures
above, controls for the analog outputs are shown. There is a duplicate set of
controls for monitoring through the digital outputs that are hidden from
view. Clicking on the large “Output Controls” button labeled “Digital” at
the bottom of the console will display the monitor controls for monitoring
through the digital outputs. These controls are labeled “
Analog => Digital
”
and “
Digital => Digital
”.
The monitors are one of the most powerful functions of the console. When
you are recording, these controls allow you to set the level at which each
input signal will be monitored at each of the outputs, independent of the
main output level control.
When setting a monitor level, you must first select whether you are
adjusting the monitors for the analog or digital outputs by clicking on the
appropriate “Output Controls” button on the bottom of the console. Then
adjust the input that will be monitored. Selection of the input is really just a
matter of using the correct monitor control box. A monitor setting will
always affect the input pair that is directly above it. To set the monitor for
the analog inputs, for example, simply go to the monitor control directly
below the analog inputs and click on one of the buttons found in the center
of the control.
Let’s say you want to set the level at which the analog inputs are monitored
through the S/PDIF outputs on Mia. You would first click on the “Digital”
output control button at the bottom of the console to select the digital
controls. Then you would adjust the monitoring levels by using the sliders
and buttons within the monitor control labeled “Analog => Digital). The
console program remembers any settings that you make, and all settings for
all outputs are maintained independently.
