+ The Foldback section is an optional feature that provides stage monitoring mixes. + Many times the main mix is used for this purpose is a setup with only the control room. However, + for a separate studio and multiple monitor mixes for in ear use, a separate set of foldback + buses provides that flexability. +
++ These foldback buses may be mono for a stage monitor wedge or stereo to allow + inear or headphones to have different mixes for each ear, such as one's self in one + ear and the rest of the music in the other. +
++ A foldback mixer strip can be created on the fly by creating a Foldback Bus in the same manner + as any other bus is created, from the + Track > Add Track, Bus or VCA Window. Once at least one + Foldback bus has been created, the Foldback strip will appear in the mixer window +
++ The View > Mixer: Show Foldback Strip checkbox will determine if the + Foldback strip is visible. The Foldback strip appears Just to the left of the Master strip in the + Mixer window. It comprises: +
++ The Previous button shows the previous Foldback bus in the Foldback strip. + The Next button shows the next Foldback strip. The button will be disabled + if there are no nore Foldback buses in that direction. +
+ ++ The hide button hides the Foldback strip when not being adjusted. + The Foldback strip can be shown again from the main menu + View > Mixer: Show Foldback Strip item. +
+ ++ The name button shows the name of the current Foldback bus. It has two + menus the Foldback bus selection menu, activated with a mouse button 1 + click and the context menu, activated with a mouse button 3 click. The + context menu has these items in it: +
++ The invert buttons (one for each channel) invert the audio signal. This + may be useful in some situations for controlling feedback. However, + proper microphone and monitor placement or the use of head phones + or in ear monitoring will be more effective. +
+ ++ Show sends allows the send levels and pan to be controlled from the + originating track by using the main fader for the track. The fader and + pan controls will change color to indicate this mode and the show sends + button will flash to indicate this mode. Changing the current Foldback + bus will disable this mode. +
+ ++ The send box shows controls for each send. There is a context menu available + by clicking mouse button 3 anywhere in the send box. +
++ +
++ There is a send control block for every send to the current Foldback + bus. The Send control block features three controls: +
++ The button LED can be clicked to enable or disable that send, the button + context menu is similar to the send box above but only for this send. It + also has a remove option to remove this send from the current foldback mix. +
+ ++ This is just like every other track or bus strip and works the same way. +
+ ++ This processor box is the same as on the other tracks and buses and allows + for adding things like reverb to the foldback mix without writing it to the track. + It would also be possible to add in sound from a reverb bus instead. +
+ ++ This is only available in PFL or AFL mode as it uses the same code as + the solo on other tracks and buses. It allows the control room monitor + or headphones to hear what the performer will hear in their monitor. +
+ ++ This controls the output level being sent to the stage monitor. +
+ ++ This is similar to the output selectors on the tracks and buses. It + differs in only a few ways. First it is never automatically connected. + A Foldback bus is always meant to be directly connected to an output + device and never to master or the monitor bus. The choices shown + Therefore reflect this. +
++ Just like the track and bus comment button, this allows opening a + window to type in notes about the current foldback bus for future + reference. +
