Track Name; Mix Output Channel - Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 User Manual

Stereo
Pressing this button combines 2 mono channels into 1 stereo channel.

Track Name

As a default, each track is given a number as a name. Double click to rename the track to something more useful such as 'Vocal Mic'.

Mix Output Channel

The output channel of the mix is where all the input channels are routed to and mixed together. The output
channel gives you control of the overall level of the entire mix. You can send a mix to any or all hardware outputs;
if a single output is selected this is displayed at the top of the output channel. "Many..." will be displayed if multiple
outputs are selected.
The output channel can be either mono or stereo depending on the status of the stereo button. When the channel
is set to stereo, you will see that the tab for that mix doubles in size. This is due to the fact that the stereo version
takes up 2 channels of the available total output channel count.
Note that when pressing on the solo button on an output channel, that channel (i.e. the whole mix) is soloed and
routed to Monitor outputs 1 and 2. This is a non-latching button.
You can name the current mix by typing the desired name in the text field below the output channel. You will see
the name appear in the mix tab. For example, Mix 1 can be renamed "Monitor Mix", and Mix 5 named "Headphone
1 Mix".
To copy an existing mix to another mix, simply click on "Copy Mix To..." and select the mix to which you would like
to copy. Note that you can only copy a stereo mix to another stereo mix, and a mono mix to another mono mix.
Therefore you must make sure that you have correctly set up the output channels to either stereo or mono before
copying the mix.
Click on "Sel..." to view a drop down menu of the available output destinations for the selected mix (see the drop
down menu in the screenshot on the left side of this page). Select an output in this menu in order to chose the
output destination for the selected mix.
