## The tabs
The tabs at the top of the mixer filter the strips. The number next to each one shows how many strips it has.

## What a strip has
- Meter and fader: the fader is the sliding volume control. The value in dB appears below it. Double-click the fader to go back to 0 dB.
- ON / MUTE: turns the channel sound on or cuts it.
- AFV: audio follows video.
- PFL: listens to the channel in the headphones, without changing what goes on air.
- MST and A to E: where the channel goes (Master and outputs).
- no group: the channel subgroup.
- FX: opens gain, delay, EQ, dynamics, auto level and noise reduction. It reads FX ● when any processing is on.


## Change the strip order
Drag the strip by its name and drop it on another strip in the same tab. It goes in front of that strip.
