Artist Mode
When you record other artists, you can give them their own headphone mix with Artist
Mode and use the Talkback function by pressing the Talk button to communicate with them.
The monitoring options for artists include:
1. Mic, Line and Instrument inputs in real time
2. DAW 1|2, to hear the current mix
3. DAW 3|4, for an alternative mix, with effects (a reverb, for example).
4. Any source as playback or play along
As sound engineer or producer your job is to concentrate on the mix. That’s why DAW 1|2
is routed to Phones 1 and Speakers A, to spare you any other switching.
If you want to check the artist’s headphone mix, deactivate Artist Mode. If you want to
let the artist hear the current mix, push the A to B switch anytime. This means no mon-
itoring setting needs to be changed.
Tip:
If the artist is not in the control room, connect a headphone amplifier to Speakers B.
If you are recording several artists at the same time, connect a multi-channel headphone
amplifier to Speakers B.
IMPORTANT:
Artist Mode is deactivated as factory setting.
DIP switch 5 on the bottom of the Crimson
is off. This makes sense if loudspeakers are
connected to the Speakers B. Otherwise, in
case of accidently activating Artist Mode, the
output signal of the DAW is routed to Speakers
B at full level, which results in a disturbingly
loud playback.
If you intend to use the Artist Mode, activate
it by sliding the DIP switch 5 into ON position.
