Audio I/O Status
When a unit is selected and audio is detected at either input, the I/O status reports the sample
rate and the audio input in use. The I/O status also reports certain warning and error conditions
as follows:
■
If no unit is selected, or if the selected unit is not accessible (perhaps because it has become
disconnected from the network) the I/O status reads: No unit connected .
■
If no audio is detected at either input of the selected unit, the I/O status reads: No lock .
■
If the unit Bypass is active, the I/O status reads: Global bypass on .
■
If the sample rate deviates significantly from one of the standard rates, the nominal sample
rate and input selection are displayed in amber.
Activity Bargraphs
These offer a visual indication of the activity in each of the bands.
Generic Pro Tools Plug-in Controls
Bypass
This allows you to monitor the processed or unprocessed signals. It controls the DNS3000’s
process on/off button, NOT its Bypass button.
Other controls
The other controls provided within the Pro Tools header to the plug-in window have generic
operation, and are described in the Pro Tools documentation.
Automation
The Band Gain settings, Level and Range Selectors appear in the Plug-In Automation screen,
and - together with the Pro Tools Bypass control - may be automated in standard Pro Tools
fashion.
To use the RCS in ‘Touch’ mode, the user must select touch mode on the DNS3000 as well as on
Pro Tools, otherwise ‘fighting’ on the unit's faders can occur. The relevant faders will be shown
in pink when touch mode is selected.
The hardware Bypass button cannot be controlled by Pro Tools and is not automatable. The RCS
switches processing on/off using the Process Off button.
You cannot link or unlink channels when controlling the DNS3000 from Pro Tools. The link state
is determined by whether you are using a single mono instance, two mono instances, or a
stereo instance of the RCS.
