MixConsole
The MixConsole provides a common environment for producing mixes in stereo or surround. It allows you to control level, pan, solo/mute status, etc. for audio and MIDI channels. Furthermore, you can set up the input and output routing for multiple tracks or channels at the same time. You can undo/redo MixConsole parameter changes for an open project at any time.
MixConsole Window
You can open the MixConsole in a separate window.
Channel Racks
The Channel Racks section contains specific MixConsole functions, such as routing, insert, or send handling. These are organized in racks.
Pre (Filters/Gain/Phase)
The Pre rack for audio-related channels features a high-cut and a low-cut filter as well as gain and phase settings.
Making Input Gain Settings
The Pre-Gain slider allows you to change the level of a signal before it reaches the EQ and the effects section. This is useful as the level going into certain effects can change the way the signal is affected. A compressor, for example, can be driven harder by raising the input gain. Gain can also be used to boost the level of poorly recorded signals.
