The level control for this path is set by a rotary control at the bottom of
the Channel strip, just next to the button that selects either the
DAW
SND
or
DAW RET
part of the path. This 'small fader' pot has the same
functionality as the Small Fader on a traditional large-format analogue
console.
Also, when using Genesys Black for recording to Pro Tools, instead of
sending the input directly to the relevant track on Pro Tools (so Input 1
goes to Track 1), it is possible to route a collection of signals to any of the
8T faders, which in turn can then be sent to Pro Tools.
This is useful when recording for example a drum kit consisting of 8 paths,
which need to be pre-mixed to a stereo pair before being sent to two
adjacent tracks on Pro Tools to form the
L
and
R
(via the 25-way D-type
connector on the rear of the 8T section, or the digital board).
The levels for these 8T paths (both to the
Main Mix
and to Pro Tools) are
set by the
8T
faders.
To aid understanding of this, there is a schematic block diagram of the
console at the end of this manual that shows the signal flows through the
console for all path types.
