Stereo settings
Inputs that have been grouped as stereo pairs in the
Inputs tab (Figure 9-3) provide two stereo modes
(Figure 9-8):
Normal and M/S . M/S mode provides
decoding for a mid-side microphone configu-
ration.
The Width knob (Figure 9-8) provides control over
the stereo imaging, going from a full stereo image
to mono (both channels panned equally). See
“Width” on page 61.
The Swap L/R button (Figure 9-8) lets you switch
the left and right channels.
Talkback section
Click the Talkback or Listenback button
(Figure 9-8) to toggle whether the input is the
Talkback or Listenback input. Only one input can
be the talkback input, and only one input can be
the listenback input. See “Talkback and listenback”
on page 79.
Reverb section
The Send in the reverb section (Figure 9-8) is the
same control as the reverb send in the Input tab
channel strip (Figure 9-3). See “Reverb send” on
page 64. If the input is currently not grouped as a
stereo pair in the Input tab (it is operating as a
mono input), use the reverb
Pan knob (Figure 9-8)
to pan the mono signal for the stereo reverb
processor.
Input meter and bus activity LEDs
When the Channel tab is active (Figure 9-8), the
display above the tab provides a horizontal level
meter and eight
bus activity LEDs (Figure 9-9).
Figure 9-9: Input meter and bus activity LEDs.
The input level meter (Figure 9-9) is the same as the
input meters in the Meters tab (Figure 9-22 on
page 77) with the
Pre FX button engaged, which
shows the input level on the physical input itself,
before any processing of any kind occurs within the
Track16. This meter gives you the most accurate
reading of the actual signal level hitting the input,
regardless of any other settings.
The Bus Activity LEDs (Figure 9-9) show you
which mix busses the input signal is being fed to.
For example, LED #6 will glow under the following
conditions: the input is unmuted in mix bus 6, its
fader is up, and there is signal activity from the
input going into the mix bus.
