MixConsole
The MixConsole provides a common environment for producing mixes in stereo or surround. It allows you to control level, pan, solo/mute status, etc. for audio and MIDI channels. Furthermore, you can set up the input and output routing for multiple tracks or channels at the same time. You can undo/redo MixConsole parameter changes for an open project at any time.
MixConsole Window
You can open the MixConsole in a separate window.
Fader Section
The fader section is the heart of the MixConsole. It shows input and output channels in conjunction with audio, instrument, MIDI, group, FX, and VCA fader channels.
Input Levels
When recording digital sound, it is important to set the input levels high enough to ensure low noise and high audio quality. At the same time, you must avoid clipping (digital distortion).
Clipping
Clipping typically occurs in the audio hardware when an analog signal is too loud and therefore converted to digital in the A/D converters of the hardware.

Clipping

Clipping typically occurs in the audio hardware when an analog signal is too loud and therefore converted to digital in the A/D converters of the hardware.

Clipping can also occur when the signal from the input bus is written to a file on your hard disk. The reason for this is that you can make settings for the input bus, adding EQ, effects, etc. to the signal while it is being recorded. This may raise the level of the signal, which causes clipping in the recorded audio file.
