Some audio mixers have an additional, separate master fader for the mono output. When the mono output is used instead of the separate right and left outputs, then both faders can be used and treated as a single fader. The main output has two master faders, one for the left output and one for right output (for stereo applications), that is used to control the master volume of the mixer, as shown below. This audio mixer also has a main output capable of both mono and stereo applications. The audio mixer that is shown in the figure on the right represents a typical, small audio mixer commonly used in churches, as well as schools, bands, and recording setups for musicians. But, for now, we are going to simply focus on the channel fader control and it’s function in sending the channel’s audio to the audio mixer’s various outputs. During the audio’s journey through the channel strip, there are usually options for sending it to auxiliary outputs, as well as options for altering the way the audio sounds, which we will cover later. Looking at a typical channel strip as shown in the figure on the right, the audio that we properly adjusted coming into the strip via the gain, or trim, setting now visually flows through the channel strip from the top to the bottom, eventually arriving at the channel fader. Now that we have the correct amount of audio in the channel strip, let’s discuss where the audio goes once it leaves the channel strip, headed to the output section of the mixer. We discussed the proper techniques for getting audio into your audio mixer’s channels and properly setting the channel input gain. In the previous article, you received your first mixing assignment using just a microphone and an audio mixer.
