Stereo – Aggregates the 2 mono channels together into a single stereo channel with shared controls.Preview the selected channel before the level is altered by the channel fader. Channel Fader – adjusts the level of the channel.Pan – adjusts the balance between left and right speakers.The inputs selected will be the same in each of the mixes, however, the other controls are specific to each mix. Inputs are all of the audio inputs on your interface (both analogue and digital), and DAW contains all of the audio channels being sent back to your interface from your computer (Digital Audio Workstation). The possible inputs are divided into streams grouped by source, as shown in the drop-down menu above. This is done by clicking in the box above the pan control in the channel, as shown below. The first thing that you need to do is to select an input for the channel. Let’s start by focussing on a pair of channels in the mix window: With the PRO 24 and PRO 24 DSP, this number is halved. When used with the PRO 40 and the Liquid Saffire 56 (pictured above), Saffire MixControl contains up to 16 mono or 8 stereo mixes. It is worth noting, however, that this section of the MixControl software has no effect on the signal being passed into your computer. The first section of this MixControl tutorial is going to focus on the top half of the control panel (shown below), and how to use it to create custom mixes that can be routed to any of the outputs on your interface. If you cant get output signal after all of that, then I suppose it's possible it's a driver issue, or an issue that Pro Tools has with the Pro 40.Applies to: Saffire Range and 1st Generation Scarlett 6i6, 8i6, 18i6, 18i8 and 18i20 In order to bypass this, SHIFT click the little output squares, now instead of being blue or red, they'll go grey, which means this is now a normal output and no longer a monitor output, and the pro 40 will send out max volume (+4 dBu) signal from these outputs.(*EDIT: DONT DO THIS ON OUTPUTS 1/2 OR YOU'LL BLOW UP YOUR SPEAKERS/EARS! Unless of course you use something else to feed/control your speakers, in which case. which in most cases, will be a very weak signal, since I doubt too many people monitor at full volume :). Which means if you use the knob to control monitors like most people, having it control ALL the outputs means the outputs will be limited to whatever the knob is set at. In this state, the outputs are controlled entirely by the "Main Mix" knob on the front of the Pro 40. Note that by default, simply clicking on them enables or disables them (Red/Blue). On the right hand side of mix control is a series of boxes representing the analog outputs, these need to be enabled in order to get any output from the Pro 40. Make sure that the outputs you want available to your daw are set as "DAW 1, DAW 2, DAW 3" etc. It does require setting routing up properly in Mix Control initially though, which can be pretty confusing. (Well.Technically it's always running since it's part of the Pro 40's driver, but you don't need to actually use it). I don't use Pro Tools, I use Reaper, but the only time I ever use Mix Control is when I need to make changes to buffer settings, otherwise I never open it up as it doesn't do anything useful for me on a normal basis, and Reaper has no issues addressing all inputs and outputs without it running. Just watch it over and over until it sinks in. Me start to understand what the point of the software is and how it works. I would suggest watching Graham Cochranes video about this on thr Recording Revolution channel. It can be a little intimidating at first but the more you use it, the more it will make sense. MixControl gives you a ton of flexibility with how you want to setup headphone mixes and hear what you want to hear in real-time. This is the beauty of the MixControl software because it is zero-latency monitoring that is independent from pro tools which I think is amazing. If you monitor inside pro tools, you will experience latency even if you take the h/w buffer size down as low as you can get it. You can use MixControl as your zero-latency mixer and bypass all the monitoring inside pro tools (which i recommend), or you can bypass the MixControl mixer and monitor everything inside pro tools. In terms of using it with pro tools, you have two options. Well, first off, you do have to use the MixControl because that is the driver for the interface so it does need to be open and configured correctly to use the interface. ![]()
