Mixer channel strips

Each channel strip contains the following types of controls:

Inserts

Each channel has four slots into which you can load an insert. You can select inserts from the menu.

The header allows you to expand/collapse the section for all channels.

The indicator can have one of the following states:

• Disabled : No inserts are loaded into the channel.

• Enabled : At least one insert is loaded into the channel, and inserts are enabled.

• Bypassed : At least one insert is loaded into the channel, and all inserts are bypassed.

The following controls are available for slots with loaded inserts:

• Enable Insert : Enables/Bypasses the insert slot.

• Edit Insert : Opens the plug-in window for the loaded plug-in, which allows you to edit its settings.

• Insert menu : Opens the plug-in menu, which allows you to select a different plug-in to load into the insert slot.

Tip

• For more information about the plug-ins included with Dorico SE, see the separate document Plug-in Reference.

• You can access inserts for individual channels in the Track Inspector for the corresponding track.

EQ

Each channel has four bands for default EQ.

The indicator allows you to enable and disable the section. The header allows you to expand/collapse the section for all channels.

The following controls are available for each EQ band:

• Enable EQ : Enables/Bypasses the corresponding band.

• Gain: Sets the amount of attenuation/boost for the corresponding band in dB.

• Frequency: Sets the frequency of the corresponding band in Hz.

• Q: Controls the width of the band; that is, how many frequencies above/below it also affects, and by how much.

FX

Each channel has a single FX slot. By default, it sends to the FX channel, which has reverb loaded on it.

The indicator allows you to enable and disable the section. The header allows you to expand/collapse the section for all channels.
