Channel Strips: FX and iPad

  Drag the Mixer View left until 

Channel Strips 12 – 16, Reverb, 

Delay, iPad and the Master Fader are 

in view. The two FX channels [Reverb 

and Delay] and one iPad channel 

look similar to Channel Strips 1 – 16, 

but function a little differently. Let’s 

find out how...

Channel Strips: Reverb / Delay

  There are three ways in which 

the Reverb and Delay channel strips 

differ from the other channel strips. 

  First, the Pan slider becomes  

a Balance slider, acting as a stereo 

balance. It allows you to adjust  

how much of the left or right  

output signals are heard. Touch  

and drag the slider left or right    

to make adjustments.

  Also, there are no dynamics on  

FX channels, so Gain Reduction 

Meters are not shown. 

  Finally, since these are stereo 

returns, the meters are in stereo, 

not mono.

  You will learn how to adjust    

the FX soon.

Channel Strips: iPad / Playback

  This is the channel where you 

control the level and EQ from the 

iPad music library or any other 

audio app on the iPad that supports 

background audio playback. 

  Keep the iPad attached to the 

mixer here, as playback only works 

when attached to the DL1608,  

not in Wi-Fi mode.

  Now start playback in the audio 

app of your choice, then switch to 

the Master Fader app to control that 

source in the mix.
