TUTORIAL 1 - PLAYING A SONG
45
9. Near the top of the rack is a mixer device - make sure this is visible.
You may need to scroll the view using the vertical scrollbar to the right in the rack (or the scroll wheel
on your mouse, if it is equipped with one).
If you look at the mixer, you will see that each mixer channel has a “tape strip” next to the volume fader. If
a device is connected to a mixer channel, the tape strip is labeled with the device name. In this song, there
are only four instrument devices, so only the four first mixer channels are labeled.
10. Click the play button to start playback.
11. While the song is playing, click and drag the faders to adjust the level of each instrument
device.
12. Try changing the pan setting (stereo position) of a channel, by clicking the pan knob
above the fader and dragging up or down.
Dragging up will turn the knob clockwise; dragging down will turn it counter-clockwise.
You may also want to add some effects to the music. In this song, there are two effect devices connected:
a delay and a chorus/flanger. These are connected as send effects from the mixer, allowing you to specify
how much of each mixer channel signal should be sent to each effect.
