7.4.3 SESSION SETTINGS -> OPTIONS
Scroll down the page to access the following options for the speaker and headphone monitoring:
•
Main source selection mode – sets the default mode used at startup of the monitor source selector: either Toggle or Sum .
•
Pre-Optimizer speaker functions – Defines if the per speaker SOLO / MUTE / NOISE speaker functions are done before of
after the optimizer processing. This allows to include or not the bass management process: if the option is not checked, the
function will be applied on the speaker output signal, else the function will be applied on the input signal.
•
Phones source follow monitor
– this option affects the headphone monitor source:
o
ON (ticked) = the headphones automatically follow the speaker monitor source.
o
OFF (not ticked) = the headphones monitor source can be selected independently.
See
7.1.10: Monitoring Audio (on the Headphones)
for more details.
•
Auto-Dim on Talkback – this option affects the speaker listening level:
o
ON (ticked) = the speaker level is dimmed whenever talkback is active.
o
OFF (not ticked) = the speaker level remains unchanged during talkback.
When active, the dimming is triggered by both the individual talkback and SLATE buttons. See 7.1.8: Talking to an Output .
The amount of dim is the same as the normal dim level (defined under STUDIO SETUP -> Options/Levels .)
You can use this feature to reduce the “noise” levels in the communication line and avoid feedback, via your talkback mic, in
the speakers.
•
Mixbus following monitoring – If a mixbus is selected there, its sources will be automatically updated to mirror the currently
selected monitor sources. This can be used to have a mirror of the sources under listening without processing nor latency
(i.e. For an external metering device).
•
Solo bus, AFL/PFL source – When a source is selected there, it can be activated with a GPI or with the griffin controller. This
is likely to be linked with a GPO from the main DAW triggered upon a SOLO on any track, with a dedicated SOLO output bus.
7.4.4 SESSION SETTINGS -> DYNAMIC RANGE SIMULATION
Scroll down again to set the parameters for the Dynamic Range Simulation:
These parameters are applied whenever the DRC button on the CONTROLLER page is selected, see 7.1.7: Dynamic Range
Compression (DRC) . The simulation complies with the SMPTE 85 standard used in Dolby encoding:
•
Dialnorm ref. Level : sets the “dialnorm” reference level in dB Full Scale.
•
Profile : click to select a profile from the drop-down menu (shown above). This defines the compression curve applied
(according to the SMPTE 85 standard).
•
RF Mode : when enabled, both gain and the selected “profile” are applied. When disabled, the simulation runs in Line Mode
(no additional gain).
•
Unity Gain : tick this option to bypass the output gain applied by RF Mode . (Compression is still applied but without gain
compensation.)
•
Delay Compensation : tick this option to have the same latency whether DRC is on or off. (The DRC processing latency =
30ms. Therefore, when this option is enabled, a delay of 30ms is added when DRC is off and removed when DRC is on.)
