MASTER VOLUME

At the left side of the Monitor Mixer page, you will see the 'Master Volume'
faders and peak meters. These faders have the longest 'throw' and highest
meter resolution of any level controls in the mixer page. They control the
overall stereo level of the mixer output. The peak meters indicate the output
signal levels with respect to full-scale and are directly affected by the settings
of the master volume faders.

MIXER INPUTS

These inputs accept hardware audio streams (directly from the VX442's
analog and digital input ports) and software audio streams (digital audio
generated by software to be output). This combination of streams makes the
monitor mixer extremely flexible. Each mixer input channel has its own level
fader and may be panned anywhere in the left/right stereo field. Each input
also has its own peak meter. The peak meters indicate the incoming "pre-
fader" levels of the incoming audio and are therefore not affected by the fader
settings. However, the input faders do affect the levels of the signals exiting
the mixer and you will see the effect of the input faders on the output "Master
Volume" peak meters.
By reason of the large number of mixer inputs, not all inputs are displayed
simultaneously. Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the VX442 Control Panel
to scroll the view left or right. From far left to right, the inputs are labeled
"WavOut 1/2," "WavOut 3/4," then "WavOut AES/EBU". These inputs accept
the digital audio streams being sent from your software application (or
Windows) to the driver devices with those same names. Each name begins
with "WavOut" to remind you that these are software streams and may not
necessarily be routed to any physical outputs (see Patchbay/Router). Further
to the right are more channels, labeled "H/W In AES/EBU," "H/W In 1/2," and
"H/W In 3/4". These mixer inputs are audio streams from the physical VX442
hardware inputs, hence the "H/W" at the front of each label. On the Mac,
these inputs are labeled "SM/ASIO", as these software streams will be receiving
their digital audio either from the Sound Manager or the ASIO driver,
depending on your selection.

PAN

Each mixer input may be individually panned anywhere in the stereo output
mix. A pan control is positioned directly under each input channel peak meter
and has the appearance of a small vertical pointer. To make a coarse
adjustment, click on the pan control with your mouse and drag it to the
desired position. For finer adjustment (in 1% increments), you may click on
the pan control to activate it, and then use the left/right or up/down cursor
