Basic Mixer Functions
The following section describes how to work with the faders, the V-Pot encoders,
the SOLO, MUTE, SELECT, and REC buttons, and how to select which channels
are affected by the fader settings.
Faders
The faders in the channel set of Mackie MCU Pro are used for hands-on level
control and mixing, and allow adjustments of the corresponding channel levels in
your application.
Because the faders are motorized, they move to reflect any level automation that you
have created in your projects. The faders also move when you select a new set of
8 channels to control, to reflect the current levels of the 8 channels.
The faders are touch sensitive. Therefore, motors are overridden when you move a
fader manually.
NOTE
If Device Setup > Mackie Control > Enable Auto Select is activated, the
corresponding channel is selected automatically when you touch a fader.
