The status of the Bus/Tape switching on the Tracks will affect the audio that is heard
on any of the monitoring destinations that Tracks are routed to. Tracks are switched
to Bus by default for new Desk Setups.
To create a mix of bus and tape (e.g. for over-dubbing) press both the BUS and
TAPE keys at the same time, the integral LEDs in both keys will illuminate. The
signals from the Bus input and Tape input will be summed before any signal
processing in the path is applied. This is useful for introducing new material over
finished material that has been previously recorded.
The ALL BUS and ALL TAPE keys globally switch all monitor paths.
Solo
The console has both pre-fader listen (PFL) and after-fader listen (AFL) solo.
AFL solo can work as standard AFL which only affects what is heard on the monitor,
or Solo-In-Place which cuts all other paths but leaves open reverb returns so that a
path can be isolated from the mix yet still heard in context. The operation of AFL is
selected in Solo Settings & Relay Control Preferences from Encore. The default AFL
is Solo-In-Place.
To AFL solo a path press the SOLO key for the required path. The LED above the
key will illuminate and the integral LED in the SOLO CLEAR key on the CONTROL
ROOM Panel will flash. The solo signal will appear on the Control Room Monitor
speakers, plus the AFL speaker (if fitted).
Press additional SOLO keys to listen to a group of paths.
To PFL solo a path press the PFL key for the required path. The integral LED will
illuminate red and the integral LED in the SOLO CLEAR key on the CONTROL
ROOM Panel will flash.
The solo signal will appear on the PFL speaker (if fitted). Press additional PFL keys
to listen to a group of paths.
