Bus Select
The output bus select panel is the area outlined in green. Five different output busses are shown here: four analog busses in the top row and one digital bus on the bottom row. Each bus has its own button marked with either an A or D (Analog or Digital) and a channel number pair. The button in the �down� position is the currently active bus. In this case Analog 1-2 (A 1-2) is the active bus. Clicking on an output bus button simply selects the settings that are displayed. This means all input monitor parameters such as volume, pan, and mute only apply to the audio coming out Analog outputs 1 and 2 of Layla3G. To select, view and change the input monitoring and playback settings for another set of outputs you must select a different output bus by clicking on one of the output bus buttons. Alternatively, you can use the function keys F1 through F5. In the example above there is only one digital output bus because the console is in S/PDIF mode. When the console is in ADAT mode, four digital busses will be displayed representing all 8 ADAT channels.
Master Output Bus Control
The master bus control is the area outlined in purple. At the bottom is the label �Analog out 1-2.� This indicates you are currently controlling everything mixed to analog outputs 1 and 2. These channels correspond to the currently selected button on the bus select panel. The two buttons labeled �+4� are the nominal level select buttons. Since they both read �+4,� this indicates these outputs are sending a +4dBu (professional level) signal. To send a �10dBV (consumer level) signal, click the button. This feature allows you to connect either professional or consumer gear to each output. The mute buttons and faders affect everything being mixed to this bus. Thus, pulling the fader down will make both the input monitors and playback quieter. Holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on a fader will set that fader to 0 dB, and clicking on the readout below the fader will allow you to enter a numerical value for the fader setting.
