efore even attempting to look at signal routing you should learn how
the SnapShot Recall system operates. This is one of the most powerful
features of the console and it will completely change the way you approach all
aspects of mixing.
All controls and switches on the console may be stored to any one of 50
memory locations within a title. They can then be instantly recalled to reset
the entire console. EVERYTHING is stored from the channel strip (and almost
every function on the Master Control Module) including fader levels, pan
position, EQ settings, aux send levels, routing, etc. The only things that don’t
get saved as part of the SnapShot are monitor configurations, solo configura-
tions, and some other settings that are more logically stored with the mixes.
See page 3-10 for details.
If you are learning the system you may wish to save your tutorial work. Section
2 detailed how to name a project and title so you can work on the console and
save your SnapShots for access at a later session. If you don’t do this, any
changes you make to the SnapShots will be lost when another title is loaded.
In Section 4 there is a full tutorial on routing. It is quite useful to save your
routing experiments into SnapShots as you go through the tutorial.
Find the Master Control Panel at the bottom of the DSC. This is the main
control area in the console and is conveniently located nearest to you in the
center-position monitor sweet spot for that very reason.
The diagram below shows the Master Control Panel. The alphanumeric
SmartDisplay tells you what the four Function Select keys ([
F1 ] to [ F4 ]) directly
below it will do if you press them. At any time, pressing [ ESC ] one or more
times will return you to the Main menu shown in the Master Control Panel’s
SmartDisplay below:
