About Pro Audio Lab

Main Screen (with Levels and Oscillator open)
The main screen is an overview of the primary analysis meters and tone generation
graphs. Each "top level" meter can be selected and enlarged using your mouse to
"zoom in" for an easy-to-read view of the selected data. Two fundamental categories,
Analysis and Generation, are located at the top of the screen and each has a pull-
down menu for choosing individual functions. One screen from each can be open
at the same time, for example, figure 1 shows the Levels display from the Analysis
drop-down menu, and the Oscillator from the Generation menu.
As with all Mackie plug-ins, Pro Audio Lab can be routed as an "insert" or "auxil-
iary" connection. Typically, it is recommended that Pro Audio Lab be routed as an
auxiliary when monitoring inputs. This also allows monitoring of tone generation via
the effects return bank. Inserting is primarily used on the Master Outputs for concise
control during mixdown. The tone generator audio returns to the D8B Effects Bank
channels that correspond to the card slot number that Pro Audio Lab uses in the
Plug-in Configuration Window.
