Vista 9 Digital Mixing System
4-8 GC Operation
Date printed: 28.0.0 SW V4.5
All channels currently muted are indicated in red. The ones being part of a
VCA group have the group number in their upper part. When right-clicking
on one of the channels, a list with all group assignment possibilities pops up;
a channel can also be muted or un-muted without an assignment to a VCA
group.
A detailed theatre workflow tutorial is given in chapter 4.4.5.3 .
4.4.5.2.11 VCA / Channel Mute Mode
A snapshot includes all audio parameters of the console by definition. This
means that the sound designer would have to specify for each cue what audio
parameters should be masked from snapshot recall, so that only certain param-
eters change. In most cases however, making changes of VCA assignments,
VCA labels, and channel mute status per cue is preferred, rather than working
with snapshots in the ‘normal’ sense. Aside from this, the desk has to work in
a manual way whereby the operator is not concerned with snapshot recall but
only with changes of certain parameters within certain cues. The theatre cue
list offers a philosophy that does not only deal with snapshots and attached
recall masks per cue, but offers that the snapshots of the VCA/mute and other
parameter changes are handled per cue by a library system that stores the
parameters.
Please note that the VCA assignment and channel mute parameters are neither
saved nor overwritten by snapshots.
