24.4 Section Control Room
In the section Control Room the menu
Assign defines the Main
Out which is used for listening in the studio. For this output the
functions Dim, Recall, Mono, Talkback, External In and Mute FX
are automatically applied. At the unit the VOLUME knob follows
this assignment.
Additionally the channel will be shifted from the Hardware Out-
puts into the Control Room section, and renamed
Main . The
same happens when assigning Main Out B or the Phones. The
original name can be displayed by the function
Names in the
View Options menu at any time.
Phones 1 to 4 will have Dim (set in Settings) and a special rout-
ing applied when Talkback is activated. Putting them beside the
Main Out increases the overview within the output section
greatly.
Dim. The volume will be reduced by the amount set in the Settings dialog (F3).
Recall. Sets the gain value defined in the Settings dialog.
Speaker B. Switches playback from Main Out to Main Out B. The faders of the channels Main
and Speaker B can be ganged via Link.
Mono. Mixes left and right channel. Useful to check for mono compatibility and phase problems.
Talkback. A click on this button will dim all signals on the Phones outputs by an amount set up
in the Settings of TotalMix FX. At the same time the control room's microphone signal (source
defined in Settings) is sent to the
Phones . The microphone level is adjusted with the channel's
input fader.
External Input. Switches Main monitoring from the mix bus to the stereo
input defined in the Settings dialog (F3). The relative volume of the stereo
signal is adjusted there as well.
Mute FX. Mutes Reverb and Echo on the Main Out, to hear the mix with-
out those effects.
Assign. Allows to define the Main Out, Main Out B
(Speaker B), and up to four Phones outs.
The output for the Cue signal, which is usually Main,
can also be set to one of four
Phones outputs. The
setting Cue/PFL to also controls the PFL monitoring.
