THE MAIN MIXER
426
Master Fader section
The Master Fader controls the final output level of the mix to be recorded or exported to a file. It should normally be
set to 0dB. The Master Fader should never be used to adjust the monitoring level - this is what the Control Room bus
is for (see below).
The section contains the following items:
Spectrum EQ (Spectrum Analyzer) Window button
Below the Meter is a button for bringing up the Spectrum EQ Window. Since there are no Filter or EQ sections in the
Master Section, the Spectrum EQ Window is used only for displaying the frequency content of the Master Section.
Control Room output section
The Control Room outputs are located on the back of the Master Section device. To use the Control Room output
section, the outputs have to be connected to your monitor system. This can be done by manually patching cables
from the “Ctrl Room Out” connectors to a separate output pair on the Reason Hardware Device - see “Manual audio
routing”.
The Control Room outputs, which are separate from the Master Out bus, are the outputs that you should monitor (lis-
ten) from. This allows you to monitor the main mix and to adjust your monitoring level without affecting the Master
Out bus. You can also monitor the FX Send or Return buses in this section.
