Soloing - Mackie 56-input, 72 channel, fully automated digital audio mixing console Quick Start Manual

• Connect the output of the digital delay to an
unused LINE IN (channels 13–24) on the
rear panel of the Digital 8•Bus. If the digital
delay has a stereo output, connect it to two
LINE IN jacks on the Digital 8•Bus. For this
example, let's connect it to LINE IN 23 and
24.
• Press the MIC/LINE button in the Master
Fader/Bank Select Section to bring up Fader
Bank 1.
• Press AUX 2 in the V-Pot Select Section.
• The channel V-Pots are now Aux 2 send level
controls. Adjust the V-Pots on the vocal
channels for the amount of send level you
want to send to the Aux 2 bus.

Soloing

The solo function is useful for isolating and
listening to an individual channel or aux send
without affecting the signal at the main
outputs. When a SOLO button is pressed, the
signal at the Control Room Output (MAIN and
NEAR FIELD) is interrupted and replaced with
the signal on the stereo solo bus.
• The solo level is adjusted separately from
the Control Room Speaker Level (but is still
affected by the Control Room Speaker
Level).
