Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Overview 47
Monitor Column Overview
The Monitor Column (illustrated at right) is always visible at the
right side of the Console window. The Monitor Column contains
elements related to monitor outputs, cue outputs, insert effect
printing, and session file management, as shown at right.
For detailed descriptions, see Monitor Column.
Monitor Meters
These meters display the signal levels of the monitor mix bus just
before the monitor level control. Levels displayed here mirror the
state of the Monitor 1 – 2 LED meters on Apollo’s front panel.
Global Insert Effects
These switches globally switch all Console inputs to either pass
all UAD insert effect processing to the DAW (print wet) or not
(monitor wet but print dry).
Insert Effects can also be individually switched on a per-channel
basis (see Channel Insert Effects). The Global Insert Effects
switches override the individual channel settings.
Show Strips
These switches show and hide the visibility of the auxiliary return
strips and/or the control room options strip. Each strip is visible
when its SHOW switch is lit.
Cue Outputs Window
Clicking this switch opens the Cue Outputs Popover, where the
cue mix buses can be assigned and mirrored to available outputs.
Monitor Output Options
The monitor outputs can be muted and/or set to monophonic
with these switches. When ALT monitoring is enabled, additional
switches appear to control which output the monitor mix is
routed to.
Monitor Level
This is the master level control for Apollo’s monitor outputs. It performs the same
function as the MONITOR knob on Apollo’s front panel. When the ring around the knob is
RED, the monitor outputs are muted.
Sessions Menu
Clicking this switch opens the Session Manager popover window, where Console
configuration files are managed.
