MixConsole
MixConsole Window
In this mode, the input channel level meters show the level of the signal at the input of the
bus, before any adjustments, such as input gain, EQ, effects, level, or pan are made. This
allows you to check the level of the unprocessed signal coming into the audio hardware.
2. Play back the audio and check the level meter for the input channel.
The signal should be as loud as possible without exceeding 0 dB, that is, the clipping
indicator for the input bus should not light up.
3. If necessary, adjust the input level in one of the following ways:
●
Adjust the output level of the sound source or the external mixer.
●
If possible, use the audio hardware’s own application program to set the input
levels. Refer to the documentation for the audio hardware.
●
If your audio hardware supports the ASIO control panel function, it may be possible
to make input level settings. To open the ASIO control panel, select Studio> Studio
Setup and in the Devices list, select your audio card. When this is selected, you can
open the control panel by clicking Control Panel in the settings section to the right.
4. Optional: Select Functions> Global Meter Settings> Meter Position and activate Post-
Fader.
NOTE
This allows you to check the level of the audio being written to a file on your hard disk,
which is only necessary if you make any adjustments to the input channel.
5. Optional: In the Channel Racks section, in the Inserts rack, click a slot and select an effect,
or in the Equalizers rack, make your EQ settings.
For some effects you may want to adjust the level of the signal going into the effect. Use
the input gain function for this. Press Shift or Alt to adjust the input gain.
6. Play back the audio and check the level meter of the input channel.
The signal should be reasonably loud without exceeding 0 dB, that is, the clipping indicator
for the input bus should not light up.
7. If necessary, use the input channel fader to adjust the signal level.
Clipping
Clipping typically occurs in the audio hardware when an analog signal is too loud and therefore
converted to digital in the hardware’s A/D converters.
Working with Channel Racks
The Channel Racks section contains specific MixConsole functions, such as routing, insert, or
send handling. These are organized in racks.
