Introduction



You will no doubt have seen images of professional mixing consoles with countless faders, dials, buttons, volume meters and other controls. These intimidating consoles are made up of row after row of Channel Strip placed next to each other - one channel strip for each track. Channel strips allow you to easily access the controls which define how an individual track is played back - volume, pan and effects - within the overall project mix. They also allow you to arm a specific track to be recorded to.


Channel strips in Audio Evolution Mobile are shown on the left when the track is selected (single tap on your desired track in the Timeline to select) on the Arranger Screen. The selected track's channel strip will remain displayed in the FX Grid view and when the Virtual Keyboard is being displayed for Soundfont and SFZ instruments. It is not displayed when the Evolution One and Flowtones synthesizers interfaces are open.


If you click the Next button on the Arranger Screen, you will move to the Mixer view which displays the channels strips for all of the tracks next to each other, in the fashion of the aforementioned professional mixing console. Depending on the number of tracks you may need to scroll to see the tracks which can't fit on-screen initially, by sliding your finger over the track names at the top of the mixer channels.


Finally, pressing the Next button again will take you to the Master and Group channel strips.


The channel strip options in Audio Evolution Mobile are displayed over several 'pages' due to the limited screen space on mobile devices. These pages can be moved between using the gray circular buttons at the bottom of the channel strip. The number of pages needed will vary according to the size of the device screen - fewer on large tablet screens and more on smaller phone screens - and on the track type (a USB MIDI track will have fewer options than tracks producing audio). As such, all of the options shown in these screenshots will be available on every device, but you may need to move through several pages to access them.
