Yamaha n8 User Manual

This switch turns the Solo function on and off. Turn 
this switch on (the switch LED lights up), if you want 
to listen to certain channels without changing the 
mix contents or signal path.

Switches each channel on and off. If you turn the 
switch on, the channel signal will be sent to each 
bus. When the switch is turned off (the switch 
indicator turns off), the channel signal will be sent 
only to the AUX bus.

The channel fader adjusts the input channel signal 
level. The fader at the “0” position corresponds to 
the nominal output level. This means that the pre-
fader level and post-fader level are identical.

The four LEDs indicate the input channel signal 
level. When the input signal is clipping, the OVER 
LED will light up.

 You can check the level of the post-fader 

signal via the input meter by setting the [INPUT 
METER] switch (page 17) in the Meter section to 
“POST.”

This switch determines whether or not the input 
channel monitor signal will be processed via the 
Monitor Remote function. If you turn this switch on 
(the LED lights up) while Cubase and the mixer are 
linked and operating together, you can monitor a wet 
signal (an input signal that has been processed via 
the VST or other effects).

These switches route the signal to the specified 
buses. Turn the [ST] switch on (the LED lights up) to 
route the channel signal to the stereo L/R buses. 
Turn the [REC] switch on to route the channel signal 
to the REC (L/R) buses.

If you switch the monitor source by using the [C-R 
SOURCE SELECT] switch (page 18), all channel 
[SOLO] switches will be reset to off.

Direct output to a connected computer is always 
available regardless of the channel [ON] switch 
status.

• While this switch is turned on, the [AUX] control 

for the corresponding input channel will be 
disabled.

• To use the Monitor Remote function, you must 

turn on the MONITOR REMOTE [ON] switch 
(page 19) (the switch LED will light up).

Tip for compensating for the phase offset
When you are recording a single instrument using 
multiple microphones, the position and the distance 
between the instrument and microphones may cause 
the phase of each recorded signal to be offset 
against each other (out of phase). If you try to mix 
such signals, the signals will interfere with each 
other, resulting in a thin sound.
For example if you record the sound of a guitar 
amplifier by placing microphones in front of and 
behind it in order to capture the resonance of the 
cabinet, the microphone placed behind the amplifier 
will pick up a signal with an offset phase. In this 
case, turn the [PHASE] switch (

) on to avoid the 

phase offset and interference.
