Pan Control
If the mix has been defined as a stereo one (see page 24), the Pan control (in the form of a slider)
positions the channel signal in the stereo image, i.e., the signal is faded between two audio outputs
such as monitor L and R.
In the case of a stereo channel, setting the Pan control fully left mutes the right channel, and vice-
versa.
Fader
Click the fader knob and slide it to set the level of the channel signal in the mix. Double-clicking the
fader knob sets the channel gain to 0 dB. Note that the channel gain range is from -∞ (muted) to
+6 dB; the current fader level is displayed numerically below the fader.
Meter
Each fader has a bargraph-style channel meter immediately to its right. The meter shows the level
of the channel's input signal. The maximum instantaneous level reached is displayed numerically in
the box below, and clicking anywhere on the meter will reset the value. Note that the meter's source
is pre-fade – the meter always shows the level of the signal at the channel input, regardless of the
fader setting.
