Clicking a mixpoint brings focus to that mixpoint. A circle appears around the teal mixpoint which remains transparent. Double-clicking a mixpoint opens a configuration dialog box with the following components:

Mono Fader — Sets the signal level from the selected input to the output bus. Gain range is -35 dB to +25 dB. Fader behavior is identical to the input channel gain block described in the mic/line input section with the exception that course adjustment (keyboard <Page Up> and <Page Down>) increases or decreases in 5 dB increments.

Mute — Mutes and unmutes the signal to the output bus. The mixpoint ball is transparent when muted (Mute button red) and solid when unmuted.

OK/Cancel — click OK to accept changes and close the box. Cancel ignores changes and closes the dialog box.

The title above the fader reflects the input and output channel names for the mixpoint. The example on the right is the Input #1 to Output #1 mixpoint set to 0.0 dB.

The input level text below the mute button indicates the input level

setting for the input gain control of the selected input signal path, in this example 0 db. Only when the mixpoint is unmuted does the circle become solid.
