Quick Access Panel; Clear Solo - Mackie DL806 Reference Manual

Quick Access Panel

Residing on the far right-hand side of the navigation bar is the quick access panel. It's the square button with
three centered horizontal lines. If you're hungry, it may look like a hamburger. If you're not hungry, you now
notice that it kinda, sorta looks like a hamburger, anyway. That's your quick access panel! It allows for fast
control over critical functions. It does not allow for fast access to hamburgers.
Tapping the quick access panel illuminates the button green and scooches the master fader and channel
faders to the left, making way for another strip of functions.
The following is a list of what resides in the quick access panel. We will go through each one in detail, but
here now is a super-short overview of each:
(1) Clear Solo [below] — Easily clear all solos.
(2) Effects Controls [page 120] — Globally mute the reverb and/or delay. Set tap delay.
(3) Mute Group Control [pages 121-125] — Set channel assignment and on/off control per
mute group master.
(4) View Group Control [pages 126-128] — Set channel assignment and view group select.
Tap the quick access panel button or anywhere else on the mixer view or channel view to exit out of the
quick access panel.

Clear Solo

Let's say the band is just tearing it up, playing the absolute best show of their lives. Right in the middle
of their best song, the guitarist just chokes on the memorable, hummable guitar solo. Just tap the 'Clear
Solo' button and all will be right in the world again.
Yeah, we wish it were that easy, too. Here is what the Clear Solo button really does. When any input
or output is soloed this button illuminates orange, serving as a reminder that a soloed channel
exists somewhere. This is especially useful when an output is soloed and you switch to adjust
a different channel on a different output. Tapping this button will clear all solos on all inputs
and outputs, including the ones you can't see.
