Customizing the Onscreen Mixer Controls

The 3 dot Option menu at the upper right-hand corner of the Mixer provides several different options for customizing the appearance of the Mixer, as well as which controls are shown or hidden:

Full Track Mixer or Small Track Mixer option: While the Full Track Mixer provides more room for buttons and controls that are large enough you don’t have to squint to see them, the Small Track Mixer allows many more channel strips to be seen at one time.

Show Labels option: These are the sectional names for functional areas of the Mixer that appear at the far left of the Mixer channel strip area. If you’re first getting started, these labels are useful, but once you’ve gotten used to the Mixer’s layout, hiding the labels can give you a bit more room to work with for another channel strip or two.

Channel Strip Control Visibility options: Allows controls to be shown or hidden in the Mixer. You can hide controls you know you’re not going to be using, no longer need to adjust, or wish to not disturb.
