Vista 9 Digital Mixing System
4-2 GC Operation

4.3.3 labels
Labels are used extensively within the system to define objects, such as
audio sources, channel names, etc., and to visualize these objects in various
windows within the GC.
Please note that all labels are saved within Snapshots and Presets, together
with all audio settings.
There are various ways to work with labels within the system. For a description
of how to use labels, refer to chapter 4.4.2.6 . Basic label types are described
below:
Fixed Labels These are generated automatically at the time of system configuration, and
used to identify
hardware-oriented objects. For example:
Fixed Label Meaning
D 1 AES B0 In 1
Digital AES/EBU, on PE/AES Board 0, Physical Input 1
Input m 8 In 1 DSP Mono Input Channel 8, Input 1 of 3
M25 B0 Out 1CH25
MADI Output CH 25, on MADI B 0, MADI Interface 1
Note: It is advised never to change the Fixed Labels.
User Labels These by default are identical to the Fixed Labels at the start of a new Session
Configuration. The user is able to rename these User labels in the GC to make
the system environment more user-friendly. User labels are used to give the
objects a useful,
application-oriented name. For example:
Fixed Label User Label Meaning
D 1 AES B0 In 1
DAT 1
DAT Player 1, coming in via Digital AES/EBU, on
PE/AES Board 0, Physical Input #1
Input m 8 In 1
BASS
DSP Mono Input Channel 8, Input 1 of 3, used for
the audio signal of the Bass Guitar
M25 B0 Out 1CH25
Foldback 1
MADI Output CH 25, on MADI B 0, MADI Interface
1, is the foldback Send 1 to the Studio Floor
Inherited Labels Inherited labels are used primarily to indicate the Source Signal that is con-
nected to the Channel Strip, rather than the User Label of the Channel. In this
way, as soon as the signal is connected to a channel’s input, the channel strip
display inherits the Label from the actual Source.
