Link Layer
A Link group is a collection of channels that move together in all modes. Links are not the same as channel
groups. Groups mix together the audio of several mixer channels. Links control the faders and mutes of several
channels—no audio passes through a Link fader. Link groups serve two purposes:
• Move a group of faders together: adjust one fader in the link group and the others will follow along.
Offsets between channels are kept.
• Control the link group from a link remote fader. This lets you control several channels from one fader,
while keeping track of each fader’s original position.
Links are assigned in the Internal View of the Patch Window. Any number of channels can be assigned to a link, but an
individual channel can be assigned to only one link.
The Spill button creates a view that includes only the channels in a selected link group.
Use the Link drop-down menu to specify which link.
In this example, six channel strips have been assigned to Link 10. Note that the small
LED between “Spill” and “Link 10” is lit. In this mode, move any of the six faders and the
others will move with it. Turn off this LED to temporally disable the link group so that you
can adjust individual faders. Turn on the LED to reactivate the link.
The Link fader on the left to controls all of the faders in the link group. This type of
control fader is called a DCA. Note that the number of the link is displayed at the bottom
of the DCA fader.
Here, the six faders in the link group adjusted as desired by the mixer.
