Control Room (Cubase only)
The different Control Room Mixer panels are handled in
the same way as the Project Mixer panels, see “Configu-
ring the mixer” on page 122.
Control Room inserts and meters
When the Control Room Mixer displays the Extended
View, the meters become visible. These meters look and
function the same way as the ones in the Project Mixer.
Pressing the small meter icon at the center right side of
the mixer will change the view to display inserts. Alterna-
tively, these can also be displayed by deactivating the
Show Meters option on the Window submenu of the Con-
trol Room Mixer context menu.
Each Control Room channel has a set of inserts config-
ured as six pre-fader and two post-fader inserts. External
inputs and Monitor channels only have the six pre-fader in-
serts.

If you do not wish to see full sized meters but still want
some indication of signal activity, activate the option “Sig-
nal Presence Indicators” in the Preferences (VST–Control
Room page). They will be displayed next to the input se-
lection buttons and will indicate signal presence for all in-
puts.

Inserts for external inputs
Each external input has its own set of six inserts. Selecting
each external input by clicking the button next to its name
at the left of the Mixer window will display the inserts as-
sociated with that channel in the extended view.
!
You can also use the Window submenu on the Con-
trol Room Mixer context menu to show/hide the dif-
ferent panels, just as in the Project Mixer.
