Mono - Clicking this will combine the two stereo signals into an interleaved mono signal. Mute button - This mutes all of the outputs that are coloured blue.ĭim - Clicking the 'Dim' button will slightly attenuate the outputted signal. This can either be control within the application or through the units monitor control by clicking "H/W Control" Output level attenuator - The attenuates all of the outputs that are coloured blue before the D/A converter. Various monitor presets can be selected using the Monitor Preset button. The output is switched between red and blue by clicking on it and is turned silver by shift-clicking on it. This is suitable for headphone outputs and external processors. If the output is silver, this means that the output is switched on and its level will not be dependent on the level attenuator, and the dim and mute buttons. If the output is red, this means that the output is switched off. If the output is blue, this means that the output is switched on and its level will be dependent on the level attenuator, and the dim and mute buttons. Output Status - This displays the current output status of an analogue output. This section controls the monitoring options on the Saffire/Scarlett. Outputs with a headphone icon indicate headphone outputs. Output destination - This lists all of the available output destinations for your Saffire/Scarlett. Clicking on this allows the output to be switched between analogue inputs, DAW outputs or mixes which can blend the two and are controlled using the mixer section. Output source - This is the output source for the destination to its right. 'Zero Latency Tracking' routes Mix 1 to all analogue output pairs and is useful if you wish to blend between DAW outputs and inputs to your Saffire/Scarlett. 'DAW tracking' routes DAW 1 and 2 to all analogue output pairs and is useful if you like to monitor through your DAW. Routing preset button - This changes the routing to a convenient preset that might be useful. The outputs for the interface are listed as well as the source for each output. This section controls what is sent to each physical output. This might be useful if a basic mix only needed to be tweaked to make it appropriate for other musicians. Clicking on this button reveals a list of possible outputs and the mix can be routed to each output by clicking on the output.Ĭopy Mix settings - This copies the settings of the selected mix to another mix. Mix destination - This is one of the methods to route the mix to a physical output.
The controls that differ from the mixer channel are outlined below. The master channel is the channel of the very right-hand side of the mixer and behaves similarly to each mixer channel in the corresponding mix. Mute button - This mutes the selected channel in the mix.Ĭhannel name - This is the name of the channel. Solo button - This solos the selected channel in the mix. PFL button - This routes only the selected channel to the monitor outputs until it is pushed again. Level meter - From left to right: Gain applied by fader (dB) Maximum level (dBFS) Current level (dBFS). To remedy this, lower the gain and click on the red bar.Ĭhannel Mono/stereo toggle switch - This will switch the channel between one stereo channel and two stereo channels. If the signal has clipped it will display a red bar at the top of the meter.
This can be a useful way to monitor the input signal. Graphic meter - This displays the level of the signal in dBFS before the fader. Double-clicking on this control will centre the control and send an equal amount of the signal to the left and right channels.įader - The controls the level of the signal in that particular mix. Pan control - This controls the amount of the signal sent to the left and right channels of the mix. This can be a physical input or a DAW output and can be changed by clicking on the current input name. Mixer channel input - This controls the input for the respective input channel. Each mixer channel consists of the following.
SAFFIRE MIXCONTROL PLUGINS SOFTWARE
This tutorial will explain the features and settings of MixControl to allow the greatest amount of control over your interface.Įach mix allows analogue and digital inputs to be blended together with software outputs before being routed to a physical output. Scarlett Mix Control is the control software that is used to control the output routing and settings for the Scarlett interface range. Saffire MixControl is the control software that is used to control the output routing and settings for the Saffire interface range.
