MUTE
1.
Press the
MUTE
button to mute the channel.
On Input channels,
MUTE
affects all post-fader mix bus
assignments; any pre-fader Aux sends are not affected.
On Output channels, the
MUTE
button mutes the channel
output. This includes any post-fader bus assignments. For
example, if the Master is feeding a Matrix and you
MUTE
it, you
will mute the Matrix send.
On VCAs, Smart VCAs and Smart Bus masters, the
MUTE
button mutes all slave channels. Note that the VCA
MUTE
will
not override any existing slave channel
MUTE
s. This is
indicated on the slave channels as follows:
•
MUTE
flashing – the channel is muted
only
by the VCA.
When you unmute the VCA, the channel
MUTE
cancels.
•
MUTE
steady state - the channel
MUTE
is active; it will
not be affected by the VCA
MUTE
. To unmute the
channel you must unmute both the VCA and the slave.
Label
This 4-character user label can be entered by selecting the
channel (press
SEL
), and then pressing [
F3
] on the console
keyboard. Type in the Label and press
OK
to confirm.
On Input channels, the Label shows:
•
the source patched to the channel (e.g.
Lead
)
•
Or, if the channel is not patched, the generic channel
name (e.g.
IN09
).
On Output channels, the Label shows:
•
the destination patched from the channel (e.g.
SPKL
).
•
Or, if the bus is not patched, the generic mix bus name
(e.g.
MST
)
For VCAs, Smart VCAs or Smart Bus VCAs there is only one
Label – the channel label.
