Channel strip controls in Logic Pro for iPad
Each channel strip has a set of controls, some of which vary for different channel strip types. You can adjust channel strip volume and pan or balance position, mute and solo channel strips, add and adjust effects, and send the output to auxiliary or output channel strips.
MIDI Effect slot: Inserts a MIDI effect into the software instrument channel strip. See MIDI plug-ins overview.
Input slot: Choose the channel strip’s input source—the input source that your microphone or instrument is connected to (audio and aux channel strips only).
Instrument slot: Choose a software instrument to generate the sound for the channel strip (instrument channel strips only).
Output slot: Choose the channel strip’s output destination—where the channel strip signal is sent to. This can be a hardware output or a bus. You can also choose the type of output, and choose pan options for stereo channel strips.
Audio Effect slot: Inserts an audio effect into the channel strip. Use effects to alter the sound of the channel in real time.
Send slot: Routes the signal to an aux channel strip. Use sends to process effects for multiple signals at the same time. See Use auxiliary channel strips.
Send Level knob: Controls the amount of signal sent to an aux channel strip. Use sends to process effects for multiple signals at the same time. See Use auxiliary channel strips.
Group menu: Controls a channel strip’s group assignment. See Create Mixer groups.
Automation Mode menu: Choose the automation mode or turn automation off for the channel strip. See Choose the automation mode.
Pan/Balance knob: Sets the channel strip signal’s position. On mono channel strips, it controls the signal’s left/right position. On stereo channel strips, it controls the balance or stereo position between the left and right signals. See Set channel strip pan or balance.
Peak level display: Updates during playback to show the highest peak level reached. A red display indicates signal clipping. See Peak level display and clipping.
Volume display: Shows the volume level of the channel strip during playback.
Volume fader: Drag vertically to adjust the playback volume of the channel strip signal.
Level meter: Shows the signal level of the channel during playback. Orange and yellow signals are safe. Red indicates a level above 0 dB.
