MIXER 153
Solo / Monitor volume fader
A solo fader and a monitor fader are available for use in the master section of the standard
mixer.
The solo fader controls the monitor volume of the solo mode, while the monitor fader
influences the level on the monitor output. Furthermore, the audio monitor point can 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 can 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 (standard behavior)
This solo button method has been in use in Samplitude since the beginning. With "Solo in
place" sets channels to solo in the mixer at their corresponding positions in 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.
You can 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 to that of 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. 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 modes by clicking on the AFL/PFL switch.
