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 112.
Control Room inserts and meters
In the extended view of the Control Room Mixer the meters
are visible. They function the same way as the ones in the
Project Mixer.
When you click on the Show Meters/Inserts button to the
right of the meters/inserts display, the view changes to
show inserts instead of meters. Alternatively, these can
also be displayed by deactivating the Show Meters option
on the Window submenu of the Control Room Mixer con-
text menu.
Each Control Room channel has a set of inserts configured
as six pre-fader and two post-fader inserts. External inputs
and Monitor channels only have the six pre-fader inserts.
The extended view with the Show Inserts/Meters button highlighted
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 indicates signal presence for all inputs.

Inserts for external inputs
Each external input has its own set of six inserts. By click-
ing the button next to the name of an external input at the
left of the Mixer window the inserts associated with that
channel are displayed in the extended view.
Inserts for the Talkback channel
The Talkback channel has a separate set of eight inserts.
In order to view and adjust them, the Talkback must be en-
abled via the TALK button located in the bottom right sec-
tion of the Control Room Mixer. Click once on the TALK
button to activate the Talkback system. The inserts for ex-
ternal inputs are now replaced with the Talkback inserts.
Once the Talkback is disabled, the view reverts to external
input inserts.
Monitor Inserts
Each Monitor channel has a set of six inserts. These in-
serts are all post Control Room fader level and are most
useful for surround decoding or brickwall limiting to pro-
tect sensitive monitor speakers.
Each set of monitors has its own Input Phase and Input
Gain settings available in the top section of the extended
Control Room Mixer. In addition, there are speaker solo
icons along with various soloing modes and speaker rout-
ing options in the Speaker Solo panel.
The Speaker Solo panel
Ö Use the speaker solos to test your multi-channel
speaker system and ensure that the proper channels are
routed to each speaker.
!
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.
!
You can easily identify the inserts for the Talkback
since they have six pre-fader and two post-fader in-
serts while the external inputs only have six pre-fader
inserts. If the Control Room Mixer is fully expanded,
the name displayed at the very top of the Mixer will re-
flect which channel is currently in the extended view.
