MIX TABS

1. The Mix tabs provide an indepen-
dent monitor mix for each analog
output pair. Click a Mix's tab to
access the channels for that mix.
Then, just bring up the faders for any
inputs (3) you wish to hear on that
output.
For example, for a studio session,
you could set up a primary mix for
the Main Outs 1-2 going to the
control room that consists of live
signals from the 828's inputs (from
the musicians), plus playback from
the computer. You could then create
a completely different mix for
Analog Outs 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, etc. for
feeding headphone monitor mixes
for the musicians.

All mixes except Main 1-2,
Headphones 1/2, and Reverb can be
configured as two individual mono,
mixes (instead of a stereo pair). See
item #13 on page 50.
2. The Reverb tab lets you apply the
828's built-in reverb to any input
signal: just bring up the fader for
that input. To hear the reverb mix on
an output, switch to the mix tab for
that output and bring up the Reverb
channel fader. Use the fader to
control how much of the reverb mix
you wish to hear.

4. This is the Master Fader for the
current mix, which in this example is
the Line Out 3-4 mix. It controls the
overall volume for the mix. It is
always visible and pinned to the
right side of the window, although
you can collapse the strip using the
widget at the bottom of the strip.
Use the Clear Solo button to clear all
solos in the mix. When one or more
channels are soloed in a mix, the
word "SOLO" appears next to the
mix name in the sidebar on the left
to alert you that channels are soloed
in the mix (and therefore other
channels are muted).
