In these situations turning the LR 16 s input pads to the on setting will allow you to lower the input level by 10dB on a channel by channel basis and thus avoid overloading the relevant inputs This approach is preferable to lowering the channel gain on the mixing console itself which would affect the gain staging for the audience mix that has been carefully set up by the Front of House engineer Use the Up Down buttons to select a channel to adjust the input pad for and then press the Select button to toggle the pad on off Additionally when initially entering the Pad Settings menu option all channels can be toggled between pad on off Page 15 cymatic audio Live Recorder LR 16 www cymaticaudio com Monitor settings The LR 16 contains an internal digital mixer that mixes down the 16 individual channels to a single master stereo signal allowing you to easily monitor a stereo mix of the tracks that are being recorded This function is very useful because it allows you to monitor a mix of all of the tracks being recorded as a group or checking individual channels without any additional equipment beyond a pair of headphones connected to the front panel headphone output The Monitor Settings screen is where you can adjust various aspects of the internal digital mixer on a per channel basis Including e Channel level e Channel left right panning e Channel mute e Channel solo To adjust the above settings on
