The mixer track properties panel (11) integrates some common mastering filters, the recording switch and the send level buttons (insert tracks only).

Integrated Filters

The integrated filters include a 3-band parametric equalizer, volume, panning and stereo separation.

The equalizer is very similar to the standalone Parametric EQ plugin which comes with FL Studio. However, the band types in this version are predefined and can not be changed: Band 1 - Low Shelf; Band 2 - Peaking; 3 - High Shelf;

The stereo separation filter allows you to increase or decrease the amount of difference between the left and right audio channels of your mix. In the default position (middle), the stereo separation filter is disabled. Turn the wheel to left to decrease the stereo separation (turning maximum to left results in a mono sound), turn right to increase it. Note that filter has no any effect if the input sound is mono.

The volume and panning filters helps you to avoid the use of dedicated plugin filters to adjust the track's volume and pan levels. The volume and panning controls are also available for all visible mixer tracks (5 and 6), so you can adjust the mix levels of the mixer track quickly and easily, without selecting each individual track to see its properties panel.

All of those integrated filters are applied after the sound has been processed with the plugin effect placed in the mixer track.

Send Levels

The four send level wheels (M) appear only in insert tracks. They allow you to set the amount of signal sent to each of the four send tracks in the Mixer. Turning a send level wheel maximum to left turns this feature off for the specified send track (send amount 0%).
