POD Farm 1.01 – Driver Panel & Recording

Mix Controls

Inputs 1 - 12 offer the following controls:

Mute (On/Off)

Monitor Volume (-100dB to +6dB)

Monitor Pan (100% Left - 100% Right)* Stereo Monitor Meters

*-3dB panning law is applied to the pan control to maintain a constant monitoring level across the panorama.

Main Monitor Volume

This slider controls the overall monitoring volume for the current output pair. What you hear is displayed in the adjacent level meter and includes the combination of input sources and computer- generated signals, such as those assigned to the current output from within your DAW software. Note that computer-generated signals (e.g. - the playback audio from your DAW software’s session) are unaffected by the volume slider. The level meter’s clip LED graphics light up when the signal reaches 0 dB.

Main Mix vs. Talent Mix

UX8’s two front panel headphone outputs mirror Outs 1-2 and 3-4 respectively. You can use the monitor controls, for example, to create a “main mix (1-2)” that captures the overall image of the recording project, while a separate “talent mix (3-4)” can be provided for the musician who is currently performing a new part, and may need a click track and an ample level of themselves above the rest of the mix (you know, the guy asking for “more me” in his headphones). Additional output pairs 5-6 and 7-8 are available for headphone mixers or sending to an external tape deck, other monitors, or whatever else you might want to send out a customized mix to.

Stereo Pairs

When the “Stereo” checkbox is active in the Inputs & Recording tab for a pair of Inputs, the representative Inputs in the Ouputs and Monitoring tab will display them as “locked” as a stereo pair.
