Make Selected Mono Strips Stereo/Make
Selected Stereo Strip Mono
Combines two selected mono channels into a single stereo chan-
nel, or splits a selected stereo channel into two mono channels.
VENUE must be in Config mode to change the stereo status of a
channel.
Move Selected Strip
Moves a selected Channel strip from its current position to a new
location. When you move a Channel strip, other channels are
moved (and renumbered) lower or higher to accommodate the
moved channel.
VENUE must be in Config mode to move channel strips.
To move a Channel strip:
1
Put the system in Config mode.
2
Select the channel you want to move.
3
On-screen, right-click on the destination strip (where you want
to move the selected channel).
Choose Move Selected Strip Here from the pop-up menu.
4
The channel strip is moved before the destination strip.
Snapshots cannot store and recall custom console channel
positions.
You can also drag and drop channels. See
put Channels Using Drag and Drop.
Insert Blank Strip
The Insert Blank Strip command lets you insert one or more blank
(or "spacer") strips anywhere among your input channels. In ad-
dition, blank strips are automatically inserted when you use the
Make Stereo command to convert two mono input channels into
a single stereo channel, preserving the channel layout.
Blank strips are strictly placeholders (no audio or any type or pro-
cessing take place), and therefore consume no additional process-
ing overhead or DSP resources.
Use blank strips to create obvious divisions between groups of in-
struments, or to optimize the bank placement of inputs on the
console.
Blank strips are saved and loaded as part of the Show file.
Blank Strips on the Console
A blank strip has no LCD channel name display, and all of its
physical controls and indicators are inactive. Blank strip faders
are set to the bottom (–inf) position and always revert to this po-
sition if moved.
Blank Strips On-Screen
Blank strips appear as a simple gray strip with no fader, buttons or
meter. A blank strip can be right-clicked to reveal its context
menu.

matically when you use the Make Stereo command. You can also
insert multiple blank strips.

Reordering In-
tion where you want to insert a blank strip and choose Insert

right-clicked channel) are shuffled one position to the right.
