The Channel Description Screen
Click on any of the
Channel
links to examine the
settings for a fader. Many of the options will seem fa-
miliar to you; you’ve seen them before, during Source
Profile setup.
Remember that these settings are saved with the
Show Profile, not the Source Profile we discussed in the
previous chapter. In the case of a Channel, these settings
apply only to one fader for one specific Show Profile.
Settings that are intended to be global in nature should
be established in the Source Profile - that way they will
apply to ANY fader to which the source is applied.
Let’s look at these options one by one; notice as we
go that the fields match the choices you made for this
channel, using Element’s
Options
menus, prior to cap-
turing the Show Profile.
Note: in addition to “active” options – choic-
es that are actively made to Element settings
when loading a new Show Profile – there is
also a “passive” option for many items: Retain
Source Setting. Choosing Retain allows the
setting for this option to “cascade” from the
Source Profile attached to the source loaded
on this channel.
For example, you’ve set a Show Profile to load
the Control Room Host mic on Channel 1. You
specified an EQ boost of 2 dB @ 1200 Hz in the
Source Profile for the Control Room Host mic;
checking the Retain Source Setting option
here in the Channel Description Screen allows
that previously-defined EQ setting to “ride along”
when the source is loaded — without your hav-
ing to specify it again.
