Stereo settings
Inputs that have been grouped as stereo pairs in the
Inputs tab (Figure 10-3) provide two stereo modes
(Figure 10-8):
Normal and M/S . M/S mode
provides decoding for a mid-side microphone
configuration.
The Width knob (Figure 10-8) provides control
over the stereo imaging, going from a full stereo
image to mono (both channels panned equally).
See “Width” on page 65.
The Swap L/R button (Figure 10-8) lets you switch
the left and right channels.
Talkback section
Click the Talkback or Listenback button
(Figure 10-8) 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 85.
Reverb section
The Send in the reverb section (Figure 10-8) is the
same control as the reverb send in the Input tab
channel strip (Figure 10-3). See “Reverb send” on
page 68. 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 10-8) to pan the mono signal for the stereo
reverb processor.
Input meter and bus activity LEDs
When the Channel tab is active (Figure 10-8), the
display above the tab provides a horizontal level
meter and eight
bus activity LEDs (Figure 10-9).
Figure 10-9: Input meter and bus activity LEDs.
The input level meter (Figure 10-9) is the same as
the input meters in the Meters tab (Figure 10-27 on
page 82) 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
UltraLite-mk3. 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 10-9) 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.
