Input channel

Here is a picture of two mixer input channels. Below is a description of every component of a mixer channel.
Audio source select
When there is no input to a mixer channel, it will display "Off".
Clicking on the "Off" region brings up a list of all available inputs that can be fed to the
channel. All analogue (labelled 'Anlg'), digital inputs (S/PDIF and ADAT), and DAW outputs
are available.
When selecting a source on a stereo channel, if an odd-numbered input is chosen for the
left channel, the next even number input is auto selected for right, and vice versa.
Note that if an input has already been taken, it will be greyed out and cannot be selected
again. The input needs to be deselected from the track where it is already taken and then
re-selected on the desired track.
To get sounds from the DAW or other computer applications into the mixer, 'DAW 1' and
'DAW 2' should be selected on a stereo input track.
