25.9 The Monitor Panel

The Monitor panel provides several options usually found on analog mixing desks. It offers

quick access to monitoring functions which are needed all the time in typical studio work.

Monitor Main

Use the drop down menu to select the hardware outputs where your main monitors are con-

nected to.

Dim

A click on this button will lower the volume of the Monitor Main output by an

amount set up in the Preferences dialog (see below). This is the same as

moving the third row faders down a bit, but much more convenient, as the old

setting is back by a simple mouse click.

Mono

Sets the stereo output defined above to monaural playback. Useful to check for

mono compatibility and phase problems.

Talkback

A click on this button will dim all signals on the Monitor Phones outputs by an

amount set up in the Preferences dialog. At the same time the control room's

microphone signal (source defined in Preferences) is sent to the three des-

tinations Monitor Phones described below. The microphone level is adjusted

with the channel's input fader.

Monitor Phones 1/2/3

Use the drop down menu to select the hardware outputs where the submixes are sent to. These

submixes are usually phones mixdowns for the musicians. A click on the button allows for the

monitoring of the specific submix via the Monitor Main output. So when setting up or modifying

the submix for the musician this process can be monitored easily and any time.

menu Options or directly via F3.
