VistaMix Master Channel Master channels will appear in cyan in the strip assign page and may be
assigned to the faders in the normal way. The Vistonics view of the VMX
bus parameters is opened by touching the Vistonics PAN icon of the desired
bus.
The VMX bus parameters appear next to the channel’s PAN parameters.
VistaMix Parameters
VMix This parameter turns the VMX function On and Off.
In the Off state, the assigned channels’ contributions to the bus are only
depending on their input fader setting, as with usual channel contributions to
standard busses.
Knob Assign Changes the parameter value between CAL and WEIGHT that are both con-
trolled on the contributing channels’ side. Both CAL and WEIGHT of the
contributing channels can be set either in the VMX bus parameters shown
above or, after selecting
GLOBAL VIEW – DLY-INS
, with the lowest Vistonics
knob in the corresponding channel strip.
During setup, first the CAL of all the talkers is set, adjusting the microphone
balance in the mix when several talkers are speaking at the same time. If
only one person is talking, the gain will not be affected. The contribution of
the channels of the persons currently not talking is automatically adjusted in
such a way that the ambience level remains constant.
WEIGHT can then be used to control the relative levels of persons (such as
the moderator – Samantha in the example at the left) that are given priority
over the other participants, so that this person gets more gain relative to the
others in the mix, if several persons are talking at the same time. WEIGHT
may also be helpful for a talker with a thin voice.
