Name

The name of the object.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

	Tip
	Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

	Note
	Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the Soundbanks.

Bus Volume

The attenuation (level or amplitude) applied on the audio signal at the bus or auxiliary bus level. Refer to Understanding the Voice Pipeline for more information about volumes.

Default value: 0
Range: -200 to 200
Units: dB

	Note
	The default slider range is from -96 to +12. You can go over those limits by entering the value directly, or by rolling the mouse while the focus is on the edit control.

(Meter)

A per channel peak meter. For more information about speaker configurations and channels, refer to Understanding Channel Configurations.

The signal level is green under -6 dB, yellow from -6 to 0 dB, and red over 0 dB.

	Note
	Meters are only available on mixing busses. To be a mixing bus, a bus must be the master or an auxiliary bus, or an audio bus with at least one effect enabled, positioning enabled, or not using the "Parent" channel configuration. Refer to Mixing Versus Non-Mixing Busses for more information on this distinction.

Channel Configuration

Specifies which channel configuration should be used in this bus. Setting this setting to anything else than "Parent" will force a submix at this level of the hierarchy. On the contrary, "Parent" means that this bus inherits the channel configuration of its parent. The channel configuration of the Master Audio Bus is implicitly set to "Parent", because it inherits the channel configuration of the associated sink / audio output device.

This setting is useful to save CPU for effects that will be applied on this bus as reducing the number of channels usually reduce the required CPU to process the effect.

This option is only working on software pipeline platforms.
