INPUT CONTROLS
Mute
The Mute button allows you to remove an incoming signal
from the monitor mix. You should be aware that Mute does
not actually mute the input, and the signal can still be
recorded. Mute simply removes the incoming signals from
the monitor. This is helpful if you want to record Microphones
or other instruments that could potentially feed back.
Solo
Solo will make the selected channel the only audible channel
in the monitor mix, all other inputs, and playback from audio
software, will be muted.
Pan
At the bottom of each input is a Pan control. Pan does not
affect how an incoming signal is recorded, it only affects the
way it is heard in your monitor mix. An example of why Pan
is helpful: if you are monitoring with headphones, and
recording a guitar with channel 1, it is easiest to hear the
guitar in both sides of the headphones, even though you are
recording a mono track.
S/PDIF input controls
This channel strip allows you to adjust the signals entering
the S/PDIF input on the back of the Q10.
On the top of the strip is a LOCK light. This will light if our
S/PDIF input is receiving valid S/PDIF .
Directly beneath are the S/PDIF input meters, which measure
the dB level of the incoming S/PDIF signal.
You may notice that the "Link" light for S/PDIF is always lit.
This is because S/PDIF is a stereo format.
