Channel strips
Audio tracks, audio busses, input busses, and assignable effects chains are displayed as channel strips in the Mixing Console.
When a control surface is enabled, an indicator is displayed in the Mixing Console to indicate which channels are under external
control. Multiple bars are displayed if a channel is under the control of multiple devices.
Tips:
• If you want to change the order in which channel strips are displayed, you can click the channel label and drag a channel strip to a
new location.
• Hover over a fader and roll your mouse wheel to change its setting.
• To edit a fader value quickly, you can double-click the displayed value to type a new value.
• Hold Ctrl while dragging a fader to move it in fine increments.
