  • Channel strips — One per track, scrollable horizontally
  • Aux channel strips — Auxiliary/bus tracks
  • Master channel strip — Final output, fixed on the right
  • Resizable width — Drag the edge of a channel strip to resize

Click a channel strip to select it. Drag plugins onto a channel strip to add them to the track's FX chain.

Channel Strip Controls

Each channel strip provides:

Volume Fader

Drag the fader to adjust the track's output level. The dB scale is displayed alongside the fader.

Level Meters

Stereo level meters (L/R) show the real-time signal level. A peak label displays the highest level reached — watch for clipping.

Pan

The pan control positions the track in the stereo field, from hard left to hard right.

Mute, Solo, Record

  • Mute (M) — Silence the track output
  • Solo (S) — Solo this track, muting all others
  • Record (R) — Arm the track for recording
  • Monitor — Enable input monitoring

Track Name and Color

The track name and color bar are displayed at the bottom of each strip for identification.

Master Channel Strip

The master strip controls the final output level of the mix. It has its own volume fader, meters, and pan control but no mute/solo/record buttons.

I/O Routing

Each channel strip has routing selectors for:

  • Audio input — Select which physical input or bus feeds the track
  • Audio output — Choose where the track's audio is sent (master, aux bus, etc.)
  • MIDI input — Select the MIDI input device and channel
  • MIDI output — Route MIDI to a specific device or virtual instrument

Sends

Each channel strip has a send section for routing audio to auxiliary buses.

  • Add a send — Create a new send slot to route signal to an aux track
  • Send level — Adjust how much signal is sent to the aux bus
  • Remove a send — Click the remove button on a send slot to delete it

The send section is resizable — drag the resize handle to show more or fewer send slots.

DrumGrid Sub-Channels

When a track contains a DrumGrid device with multiple outputs, the mixer can expand to show individual sub-channel strips for each drum voice, giving you independent level and pan control per pad output. See Drum Grid for details.
