Output Channel
All the input channels are mixed together and routed to the output channel of
the mixer. The output channel lets you control the overall level of the entire mix.
(Remember there is a separate output channel for each.)
An output channel is mono by default; stereo operation may be selected by clicking
its Stereo button. When the output channel is stereo, you will note that the tab for
the mix doubles in size. This is because the stereo version takes up 2 channels of
the available total output channel count.
An output channel’s fader, meter, Mute and Solo buttons operate in the same
manner as for an input channel. Note that the solo button is non-latching and
routes the entire mix to Monitor outputs 1 and 2.
The output routing is selected by clicking on the !%2K button
at the top of the channel strip, which opens a drop-down list
of all the available hardware outputs. You can route the mix
to any or all of the Scarlett 18i20’s hardware outputs; if just
one output is selected, its name is displayed at the top of the
output channel. The text ;1+"K will be displayed if multiple
outputs are selected.
The mix may be named; by default the name is ;5H'+. Click in
the text field below the output channel and enter a more helpful
name – e.g., ;.+5$.)';5H, or the name of the performer who
is receiving the mix as his/her foldback feed. The name also
appears on the mix tab.
You may copy an existing mix to another mix. This copies all
the fader/pan/mute/solo settings and channel names. To do
this, click on the ?.9"' ;5H' L.>>> button and select the mix
(from the list presented) which you would like to duplicate the
current one. Note that you can only copy a mono mix to another
mono mix, and a stereo mix to another stereo mix. Therefore
you must make sure that you have correctly set up the output
channels before copying the mix.
