The Mix module contains the following controls:

Mute / Unmute All Tracks . Click to mute/unmute all tracks. The button is lit if at least one track is muted.

Solo / Unsolo All Tracks . Click to solo/unsolo all tracks. The button is lit if at least one track is soloed.

Dim Solo enable/disable . Enable/disable Dim Solo mode. Dim Solo is a mode in which non-soloed audio tracks/buses are still audible but at a reduced level. For details, see Dim Solo mode.

Exclusive Solo enable/disable . Enable/disable Exclusive Solo mode. With Exclusive Solo mode, you can only solo one track and one bus at a time. For details, see Exclusive Solo mode.

Arm / Disarm All Tracks . Click to arm/disarm all tracks. The button is lit if at least one track is armed.

Input Monitor On/Off All Tracks . Enable/disable Input Monitoring on all tracks.

Bypass all Effects . Bypass all effects globally. For details, see Bypassing effects globally.

Live Input PDC Override . Enable/disable delay compensation on live tracks, thereby removing the latency during playback and recording of such tracks. Because it's a toggle, you can quickly turn it on to complete your tracking at low latency, and turn it off when finished to hear the track compensated as normal. For details, see Live Input PDC override.

Offset mode . Enable/disable Offset mode. In Offset mode, you “offset” the current automation in a track using a parameter’s controls. For details, see Envelope mode and Offset mode.

Enable/Bypass Plug-In Upsampling . Globally enable/disable plug-in upsampling for plug-ins that already have upsampling enabled. For details, see Plug-in upsampling on bounce/freeze/export.

Global Automation Playback . Globally enable/disable all automation playback.

Clear All Automation Write Enables . Globally disable Automation Write Enable for all armed parameters.
