Operating the mixer
Every VIP track has its corresponding mixer track. However, you can hide any
VIP or mixer track in the track manager.
Alternative mixer skins
In "System audio ("Y") -> Design -> Skins" you can select an alternative mixer
skin. Another option for changing the mixer skins is to click on the system
menu in the mixer window (the symbol at the top left corner of the mixer
window).
Using the keyboard
 Cursor keys: Select the active mixer element (fader, button, or switch)
 Page up/Page down: Changes the value of the active mixer element
 Home: Resets the mixer element to its preset (passive) initial value. Press
"Home" again, and the element is reset to the last value, allowing a simpler
comparison between the altered and initial preset states.
 End: Opens the assigned subwindow of an element, e.g. the EQ window for
one of the EQ buttons. This corresponds with right clicking on a button.
 Return: Enables the numeric entry for a marked window box.
Operating the mixer with the mouse and keyboard
Left click: A control element is selected.
Ctrl & left click: Several control elements can be selected (multi-selection).
Shift & left click on buttons: Allows special functions to be changed, e.g. mute
single track or solo single track (although they are members of an active
group).
Shift & left click on buttons or faders: Reverses the link selection (negative
selection).
Ctrl & left click: A single control element can be temporarily positioned within a
group by pressing “Alt” and operating the element.
Double click on numbers: Opens the entry box to allow manual entry of
numeric values.
Double clicking on buttons: Resets the control element to its preset (initial)
value. Double clicking again sets the value back to the changed value.
