07. FUNCTIONS & INSERTS
[FUNCTIONS AND INSERT BUTTONS PICTURED ABOVE]
The top row of FUNCTIONS buttons select the following:
1. ‘IN 1-2’ toggle between the two sets of stereo inputs.
2. ‘S&M’ switch between standard STEREO MODE or MIDDLE SIDES MODE for INSERT 2.
3. ‘OUT MON’ switch between the input signal (post Input level and Input Monitor Offset
Level controls) or the output signal (post processing).
Feature: The second loop can work in stereo or “Sum And Minus” mode. In S&M, one can effect
the center panning information of a mix without affecting the sides and vice versa.
Benefit: Perhaps the lead vocal is too bright but the guitars panned to the sides are dull? Use
stereo EQ in S&M to fix both problems!
08. INPUT MONITOR OFFSET
[INPUT MONITOR OFFSET PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: Adjusts the level of the unprocessed input.
Benefit: Match the input and output levels to listen to the effect of pre and post processing
without the level difference clouding your judgment.
Benefit: Look down at the scale, and instantly determine the relative gain obtained from the
mastering process. This control has a scale of -2 to +8dB in 0.5 dB steps.
Tip:
,
This control only affects the MONITOR output, not MAIN 1 & 2.
