Go46 Control Panel; Digital Mixer - Yamaha GO46 Owner's Manual

GO46 Control Panel

The GO46 Control Panel is quite intuitive and should not present beginners with major problems.
Here, depending on the requirements of each situation, you can have total control of the audio
interface, reduce levels, route inputs to any output or set the Master Clock values. The GO46
Control Panel has several windows. You can change windows by using the tabs in the upper left
of the Control Panel.
NOTE

Digital Mixer

In the Digital Mixer page, you can control the digital mixer of the GO46.
NOTE
ANALOG IN / DIGITAL IN
Here you can control the levels of analog input channels in the ANALOG IN column and digital
input channels in the DIGITAL IN column. Use the faders to control the levels of corresponding
channels. The [MUTE] buttons can be used to mute the individual channels.
A separate fader is available for each mono channel. The individual channels can be joined using
the switchable stereo link function. To turn on/off the stereo link function, click the [PAIR] button.
While the stereo link function is active, faders and mute operations are linked.
When recording a mono input signal such as a guitar, the [MONO] button is useful. When this
button is active, the input signal will remain in mono, but the monitor sound will be in stereo.
DIGITAL IN is grayed out until a signal is applied to the digital input and the MASTER CLOCK
under "Output & Settings" (page 21) is set to [EXTERNAL].

The functions and the positions of the control elements are generally identical between the two
platforms, Windows and Mac OS. The following example illustrations have been taken from the
Windows version of the Control Panel.
If you are working with common DAW applications, you should also use the DAW for level control.
The advantage for doing this is that the settings are usually saved together with your project (song,
arrangement etc.)
