Waves eMotion LV1 User Guide | Appendix B: Displays

Single Display

You can use the mixer with a single display, such as an all-in-one or tablet. This is useful for small projects or where there is little space.

It also provides for very quick setup.

Since display space is limited when using one monitor, there is a mixer view—the Channel layer mode—that enables you to

observe and control most aspects of a channel without leaving the mixer surface. The Channel layer mode combines the view

of all other mixer sections.

You can use user-assignable keys to help navigate to essential locations throughout the mixer.

Refer to Mixer window > Dynamics/EQ Mode for details.
