Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 794)

• Output channel strips—used as a routing destination for the original channel strip (or
for other displayed channel strips)—shown in ascending order
• The master channel strip
Using Arrange View
In Arrange view, the Mixer displays all channel strips that correspond to tracks—audio,
instrument, or external MIDI—used in the Arrange window, and their signal flow.
Note: The signal flow is visible only if the Add Signal Flow Channel Strips command is
chosen from the Mixer’s View menu.
The entire signal flow is laid out from left to right, as follows:
• All channel strips that are assigned to Arrange area tracks, shown in ascending order
• Aux channel strips—used for individual output signals of multi-output
instruments—shown to the right of the instrument channel strip, and in ascending
order
• Aux channel strips—used as send destinations for all channel strips (or for other
displayed aux channel strips)—shown in ascending order
• Output channel strips—used as a routing destination for all channel strips in the
Mixer—shown in ascending order
• The master channel strip
You can choose the following two items from the Mixer’s View menu to further refine
the Arrange view:
• Other Tracks: Enable to show (or disable to filter) track channel strips that do not offer
any mixing parameters, such as volume or pan control. These other tracks include the
No Output and Metronome tracks. This is useful for setting the level and routing
assignment for the Metronome. (The latter option is handy if you need to provide a
click track to a specific output—for a musician or for purposes of synchronization.)
• Same Instrument Tracks: Enable to show (or disable to filter) Arrange window tracks
that address the same instrument channel strip. These tracks have redundant settings
for volume, pan, and so on—because they address the same channel strip—so it’s
usually unnecessary to display more than one channel strip for each track.
Using All View
In All view, the Mixer displays all channel strips available in the project, including those
that don’t have a corresponding track in the Arrange area.
Aux and output channel strips are examples of channel strips that don’t have a
corresponding track in the Arrange area. You can, however, create tracks for such channel
strips.
