About Pro Audio Lab
Status Screen
Levels Screen (from the Analysis drop-down menu)
Oscillator Screen (from the Generator drop-down menu)
Main Screen (with Levels and Oscillator open)
The main screen is an overview of the primary analysis meters and tone generation graphs. Each “top level” meter can be selected and enlarged using your mouse to “zoom in” for an easy-to-read view of the selected data. Two fundamental categories, Analysis and Generation, are located at the top of the screen and each has a pull- down menu for choosing individual functions. One screen from each can be open
at the same time, for example, figure 1 shows the Levels display from the Analysis drop-down menu, and the Oscillator from the Generation menu.
As with all Mackie plug-ins, Pro Audio Lab can be routed as an “insert” or “auxil- iary” connection. Typically, it is recommended that Pro Audio Lab be routed as an auxiliary when monitoring inputs. This also allows monitoring of tone generation via the effects return bank. Inserting is primarily used on the Master Outputs for concise control during mixdown. The tone generator audio returns to the D8B Effects Bank channels that correspond to the card slot number that Pro Audio Lab uses in the Plug-in Configuration Window.
