MIXER TAB FEATURES
The Blackbird Control application is a full-featured,
zero-latency 18x16 matrix mixer that allows for
independent mix creation to each of the device's stereo
output pairs. This is the place to fully customize the
inputs, outputs, levels, pans and more for every
application and/or session.
To view it, simply launch the Blackbird Control
Application by double-clicking on the icon located on
the desktop or in Programs (PC) or Applications (Mac).
Output Mixes
Each output tab on the right of the mixer view
controls a different zero-latency output mix. Volume,
mute, solo, level and pan adjustments made for each
mixer affect the signal being sent out of each physical
output on the device.
The active mixer tab appears "forward" from the
others and is lighter in color than the output mixer tabs
that are not currently being viewed. The active mixer
tab's signal and settings are also reflected in the output
master section (see page 24).
To select and make changes to a mix for an output
tab, simply click on the desired output and its dedicated
18x2 mixer will be brought to the foreground. However,
if you simply want to meter, mute, or alter the volume
of any output, you have full control of those functions
within the output tab iself. Also, even if you are in the
settings tab, you still have accesss to these master
controls. A complete description of each output tab's
functionality follows.

39. MAIN MIX
This output tab feeds Onyx Blackbird's stereo main
out L/R and mon out L/R on the rear panel of the
interface. Phones 1 and 2 may also share this mix by
leaving the source switches in the up (mon) position on
the front side of the interface.
This mix is primarly intended to be the engineer's mix
for recording and playback, but because of the addition
of the un-attenuated main out L/R jacks, it may also
be used to redundantly feed a headphone amp or other
external audio device.
40. ALT MIX
This output tab feeds Onyx Blackbird's stereo alt out
L/R on the rear panel of the interface.
This mix is intended to feed a headphone amp or
other external audio device when different levels, pans,
etc. than featured on the main mix tab are desired.
41. PHONES 1 and 2
These two independent outputs tabs feed Onyx
Blackbird's stereo phone 1 and 2 output jacks on the
front of the interface. For the headphones to receive
these mixes, their independent source selection
switches must be in the down (ph1/ph2) positions.
These custom mixes are designed to elicit the best
possible artist performances by allowing the engineer to
create custom mixes based on artist requirements.
