Important Aux Bus Fader Modes information for Early Adopters
The Fader Modes behavior described in the preceding pages reflects MIOConsole3d pb10-39 and newer.
This differs from how MIOConsole3d behaved in previous versions.
Based on user feedback, the Mixer strip ‘Mute’ and ‘Solo’ button behaviors have been refined to be more
in line with what people expect. The following describes what the changes are, and what you might need
to do to make things work the way you want.
The behavioral settings of existing .cnsl3d files are unchanged. So, when you open an existing .cnsl3d file
you will see any Auxes that were set to
Pre Fader
will now show as being set to
Pre Mute
- e.g. no operational
change in behavior from before.
If you want the new
Pre Fader
behavior for your Auxes on existing mixers, you will need to open “Configure
Mixer”, and set the “Fader” mode of the Auxes to “Pre-Fader”.
Newly created Auxes (either manual or automatic) will default to the new “Pre-Fader” mode.
Background:
Up until build pb10-39 there were two user selectable “Modes” of internal linking between the strip Mute,
Solo and Fader:
Pre Fader
&
Post Fader
:
Mode
Fader Gain
Mute
Solo (SIP)
Pre-Fader
ignore
ignore
ignore
Post-Fader
apply gain offset
logical ‘or’
logical ‘or’
Table 10.7. previous Aux Bus Send “Fader” controls table
Pre-Fader
as a result was effectively pre-fader, pre-mute and pre-solo.
Based on user feedback we have come to understand that this is unexpected for a lot of people, and
especially unworkable for using MIOConsole in a live (FOH) context.
That said, it is the way things like Pro Tools work, so it is also important to not lose the ability to support
pre-mute, pre-fader sends to aux buses.
How it has changed:
The way we are addressing this is as follows. We have added a new user selectable mode for the Auxes:
Pre Mute
and have redefined
Pre Fader
to be post-mute/post-solo.
