170 MIXER
Solo/monitor volume fader
A solo and a monitor level is available in the master section of the standard mixer.
The solo fader controls the monitor volume in "Solo" mode, while the monitor fader
influences the level on the monitor output. The audio monitoring point may also be set
using the AFL/PFL switch.
 PFL = Pre Fader Listen
 AFL = After Fader Listen
In general, the monitor bus behaves like "Main to Monitor", meaning that the content of the
master may be heard at the same time on the monitor bus. As soon as solo is activated,
only the solo state is played over the monitor bus.
Solo in Place (default)
This solo button method has been available in Samplitude since the beginning. "Solo in
place" sets channels to solo in the mixer at their corresponding positions within the stereo
picture of the mix. Simultaneously, all other channels are muted. "Solo" mode is normal
during mixing to identify instrument tracks and edit them.
Switch to "Solo in place" mode by deactivating the solo output bus and switching to "Solo
bus inactive/Solo in place" in the device selection under the AFL/PFL button.
Caution: When using the monitor fader in this mode, it's possible to influence the audible
master level and thereby the level of external devices connected to the stereo master. You
can set the monitoring volume in the mixer without using external volume controls. The
audible result is different than the peak meter display in the mixer, which is the reason for
the numerical level values in the mixer displaying in red. Additionally, the solo fader
influences the volume of the solo tracks that are played via the master area. The internal
level for bouncing and burning, however, remains unchanged.
Another function of this mode in Samplitude is to toggle between "Pre-fader listen" and
"After fader listen" in "Solo in place" mode by clicking the AFL/PFL switch.
