Below is another example of the Solo and Mute logic:
Send FX level and mute logic
If you are using Send FX in your mixer channels, these need to behave intelligently when you are using Output Bus
channels and/or Parallel Channels.
Send FX level examples
Since the eight Send FX busses in the Main Mixer are shared between all mixer channels, including Output Bus
channels, there has to be a way to compensate the Send FX levels for changes in Output Bus levels. Therefore:
• If a channel is routed to an Output Bus, its Send FX levels will follow the Output Bus level.
One example would be if you have a number of drum channels routed to a “Drums” Output Bus, and add a reverb
to the Snare channel using an FX Send. Now, if you raise or lower the Drums Output Bus level fader, the individual
Snare reverb Send level will automatically adjust, so that the effect balance is maintained.
! Note that the automatic Send FX level adjustment is disabled if the Send FX PRE button is on.
! Note that the individual FX Send level knobs will not move to reflect the automatic level compensations.
The Drums Dist parallel channel is manually soloed.
Its output bus, the Drums SubMix, is automatically soloed,
as are the Kick, Snare and Overhead channels that are
routed to the Drums Dist channel via the parallel
connection from the Drums Clean channel.
The Drums Clean channel is automatically muted, as are
the other remaining channels in the mixer.
