Digital X Bus
•
All standard surround sound modes are select-
able, including Stereo (no surround), Quad,
LCRS, 5.1, 7.1 (SDDS), and 7.1 (TP).
Mixing Options
Several of the Mixing
Options are also available
under the Options menu.
One Button Record
•
When this option is
selected, record mode
is activated by press-
ing the RECORD
button in the control
surface’s transport
section.
•
When One Button Record is not selected, the
PLAY button must be held down while pressing
the RECORD button to engage record mode.
•
To punch out of record mode, simply press
PLAY, STOP, REWIND, or FAST FWD.
•
One Button Record only affects the punch-in
procedure. The punch-out procedure is the same
regardless of the status of One Button Record
(hit any other transport button to punch out,
usually STOP).
Solo Latch
•
When Solo Latch is selected, you can solo more
than one channel at a time.
•
When Solo Latch is off, only one channel may
be soloed at a time.
•
You can manually solo more than one channel
when Solo Latch is off by pressing the Shift key
while soloing multiple channels.
Record Safe
•
When Record Safe is selected, the channel
RECORD buttons will not engage. However,
automation data can still be written.
Use Pre-Roll
•
Sets the playback cursor a specifi ed amount
ahead of the locate point.
•
The amount of Pre-roll is set in the Windows >
Setup > Mix Options window.
•
Pre-roll is used to provide a set time period for all
synchronized device transports to lock together.
•
Ideally, Pre-roll is equal to the sync-lock time
for the recording system’s transports so that
synchronized playback is a reality by the time
the devices roll past the locate position.
Song Offset
•
Sets the consistent time difference between the
record device time code and the Digital X Bus
reference time code.
• Generally used to
“zero reference” a song’s
starting point in BBT. It’s
easier to jump to measure
1 than 2:01:23 (usually).
• Offset can be as little
as one frame or as much
as 23 hours, 59 min-
utes, 59 seconds, and 29
frames.
Pre-Roll
•
Sets the time difference between a Locate point
and the actual start point.
•
Since many record devices require a few sec-
onds to synchronize, the Pre-Roll time allows a
brief time period in advance of the locate point
to ensure transport sync and accuracy.
Meters
These meter options are also available under the
Options > Meters submenu.
The Meters drop-down box allows you to select
the point in the signal fl ow where the meters are
indicating.
Input
•
The meters display the signal at the input, prior
to any controls on the Digital X Bus.
Pre-Fader
•
The meters display the signal just prior to the
fader, post- Digital Trim, EQ, Compressor, Gate,
and pre-fader insert.
Post-Fader
•
The meters display the signal just after the fader.
Clear Overloads
•
If the metered signal reaches 0 dBFS, the clip
indicator at the top of the meter bridge blinks to
indicate that digital clipping has occurred.
•
The clip indicator continues to blink until you
manually clear it, either by selecting Clear
Overloads in the Options > Meters Submenu,
or selecting Clear Overloads in the Windows >
Setup > Mix Options window.
