English STEREO BUS SOLO BUS A Hands-On Guide to the n8/n12 Soloing a channel You can monitor only certain input channel signals. This is called the Solo function. This function is useful when you want to listen to the performance or check the sound of only certain input channel signals selected from the stereo mix. The n8/n12 features a dedicated solo bus (L/R), through which you can monitor pre-fader or post-fader input channels. ■ Soloing a post-fader channel signal Turn on the [SOLO] switch of the desired input channels (the switch indicator(s) will light up). You can turn on or off the switch for each channel individually. For example, you can listen to certain parts, such as only bass and drums, or vocal and piano, by turning on the [SOLO] switch for multiple desired channels. When the [SOLO] switch is turned on, the monitor source for the control room will switch to the solo bus and the [C-R SOURCE SELECT] switch indicator will flash.

This technique is useful when you want to monitor the channel signal without raising the channel fader. If the sound seems distorted, you can use this function to check whether the signal is already distorted before it passes through the fader. INPUT CHANNEL Monitoring a pre-fader signal may surprise you with its volume level, which may be much higher than expected. Check the monitoring level before you start to monitor the pre-fader signal. On the n12, you can use the [SOLO LEVEL] control in the Meter section to adjust the output level of the solo bus.
