Toolbar Audio Monitoring Controls

At the far right of the toolbar, a set of three monitoring controls lets you quickly control the output volume of your mix. An audio Enable/Disable button lets you turn audio playback on and off, while a slider lets you change the volume, and a DIM button lets you temporarily duck the monitored volume being output in order to have a quick chat with your client about sports or the state of the world while keeping half an ear on the mix.

The monitoring controls in the Edit page

When there are multiple audio Mains defined for a project, an additional drop-down dialog appears with the audio monitoring controls in the toolbar that lets you choose which Main you’re listening to.
