Mackie DL806 Reference Manual page 139

Check out the two images below. On the left side, we set access limits to Auxes 1, 3, and 5, as well as
the FX outputs, Mute, Channel ID, Shows, Mute Groups and View Groups. We know because as we've
seen throughout the reference guide, a green button means a function is engaged, while gray buttons
are disengaged items.
On the right hand side is an image of the mixer view with the above-mentioned access limits in place.
Notice that the functions are still visible, but shaded gray, indicating that they are not available
for update. The LR output and auxes 2, 4 and 6 were not set; notice the difference in color in the
same mixer view image.
More information about settings (and access limits) may be found on pages 96-100.
Groups – Tapping the groups button accesses the mute group masters and view group select.
Mute groups allow you to quickly mute (and unmute) multiple channels and/or outputs with
a single tap. There are a multitude of possibilities in which to assign and enable mute groups:
productions featuring a rotating cast of musicians, theater productions, a house of worship
and more. It is also great for muting all inputs during song breaks or in-between sets.
View groups, on the other hand, allow you to see only the channels that you want to view, hiding
the rest. This improves organization and allows for faster navigation. This improves organization and
allows for faster navigation.
The mute group masters and view group masters may be enabled/disabled via Master Fader
or My Fader. However, channels may only be assigned to mute groups and view groups in
Master Fader.
The mute groups and view groups seen below are the same ones that were assigned in the mute
and view groups section of Master Fader (pages 121-128). These master group master and view
group select buttons are enabled via My Fader.
We'll start with the mute groups. Check out the images below. On the left side, we enabled mute
group master 1. On the right side is an image of the mixer view with mute group master 1 enabled.
Notice that the channels that were added to mute group 1 are now muted.
