Level Fader
The Level Fader controls the output level for its corresponding channel. Double-clicking or Alt/Option-Clicking on a channel fader will set the fader to unity gain.
Channel Name
The name displayed at the bottom of each channel strip can be changed by clicking on the field. Once you have entered a new name, press the enter/return key to confirm the new channel name.
Note that changing channel names only affects the appearance of the channel names within the Control Panel mixer tabs—this feature does not affect your audio application in any way. Also note that renaming a channel in one mixer tab results in the new name appearing in all of the remaining mixer tabs.
✓TIP: Once you have finished naming a channel, pressing the tab key allows you to immediately jump to the next channel and begin naming it. This lets you name all of the mixer channels quickly.
Settings Tab
The Settings window provides controls for various ProFire 610 hardware and synchronization settings. Note that the Control Panel provides separate drop-down menus for “hosted” and “standalone” modes. Hosted mode (i.e., when the interface is used with a computer) is the most common use of ProFire 610 whereas standalone mode allows the interface to be used without a computer. Both sets of drop-down menus are covered in this section. For more information about standalone mode, refer to the “Standalone Operation” chapter later in this guide.
Windows only:
Buffer Size drop-down menu.
Hosted Mode – Sync Source
This drop-down menu lets you select the digital synchronization source of the interface when ProFire 610 is in Hosted Mode. The menu selects between ProFire 610 internal sync or external sync via an incoming S/PDIF signal.
