Hint: Click the level display in stopped state, and the cursor will jump to the position
indicated by the level.
Link: This button connects both faders. Please use this function to change the left and
right faders simultaneously.
Faders: These faders adjust the left and right master signal. Reset the faders to the 0dB
position by double clicking them.
FX: Opens the effects/routing window for editing and configuring an effects chain. This
specifies sequence in which the effects are used.
Find out more about this in the "Buses and routing -> Order of effects calculations and
signal manipulation (view page 156)" chapter.
Mix to file while recording
The Mix to file and On buttons can be used to mix down in real time and to change any of
the mix's parameters during playback. At the end of the playback process, the mixdown
created will be written to a wave file.
1. Click the "Mix to file" button and a dialog window will open to specify the name and
place where the created wave file should be saved. When the "On" button is active,
the master output of the mixer can be written to a wave file during playback.
2. Start playback of the VIP.
3. On playback, any parameter desired may be changed to record any live sound
adjustments that are made.
4. At the end, stop the playback of the VIP.
Important: Make sure that the "Mix to file – on" button is deactivated if the master signal
should not be mixed into a new file. Otherwise, the system creates a wave file every time
the file is played.
The "Mix to file" function does not necessarily need to be used to record dynamic mixer
movements during playback. Effects may be controlled via AUX busses, and volume and
panorama curves using the automation functions.
Note: The "Mixdown" button is available in some mixer skins, e.g. "Multi-track mixer" or
"Recording mixer". This function also mixes down and saves the entire VIP, including all
settings, in one file. In contrast to "Mix to file", no parameter changes during playback are
taken into consideration, but the track is merely "bounced". Detailed information can be
found in the menu reference under "Menu Tools > Track bouncing (internal mixdown)".
Device/Master out: Enter the playback device for the stereo signal. Select "Master
inactive" if you don't want to use the master playback device in the project (e.g. multiple
I/O setups).
