At the top is the peak meter for this channel, labeled in decibels. Under the

peak meter is the monitor pan slider; this pans the input channel between the

two channels of the output bus. Note that this does not affect your

recording. Below the pan slider is the monitor mute. This controls whether

or not you want this input channel to be mixed directly out to the currently

selected output bus. Again, this does not affect recording. This is followed

by the monitor fader, which controls the input monitor level. Like the pan

and mute controls, this does not affect your record level. Also, clicking on

the readout below the fader will allow you to numerically enter a fader

setting.

The analog inputs also have gang buttons, and their operation is the same as

the gang button for the master outputs.

Playback Strips

The controls for the level of audio being played by an application are found

in the middle of the Console and have the label “Virtual out” at the bottom.

Each Indigo Console has multiple playback strips – one for each virtual

output. Each playback strip allows you to pan, mute and change the level of

the audio signal that is being sent to your Indigo product’s physical outputs.

Each virtual output can be mixed in any combination to your Indigo

product’s analog outputs.

Adjusting Playback Volume

Output volume adjustments are made in the digital domain. When you lower

a volume fader below 0dB, you are actually decreasing the number of

available bits, thereby taking away from the potential dynamic range of the

system. Therefore, we suggest that whenever possible you leave the output

faders set to 0dB, and perform any necessary attenuation with the volume

knob on your Indigo product or with an external mixer. When the playback

volume controls are set to 0dB and the input signal approaches the

maximum pre-clipping level, you can achieve the full 24-bit dynamic range

of the system.
