To pair output mixes as stereo;
On the console worksurface we can press and hold two
[SEL] buttons to make a pair, but in the Editor we must
use the Selected Channel window. Click on the
heart icon to make a paired (stereo) channel. All param-
eters except pan are linked. Remember the pan needs to
be set; you can do this in the Selected Channel window or
in the MIX window.
Output naming;
In the Editor, output mix names can be entered on either
the patch window or the main MIX, MATRIX or STEREO
channel windows. Rapid naming is easiest in the channel
windows as the Tab key can be used to move to the next
name. Double click on the name to highlight it, then type
in the name. Output names are useful in the Editor and ap-
pear on the console in the relevant screens. Output names
only appear on the panel surface when the Assignable
Faders are used.
If you want to set a rough mix for FOH you can easily
drag the input faders to their levels, but for monitors there
is no Fader Flip or Sends on Fader type mode. The easiest
way is to use the SEL channel window and drag the rotary
knobs to set the levels. At this early stage the process is
almost meaningless, and could cause more problems than
leaving the values at zero, but later, after the soundcheck
and fi rst show this is how to make adjustments.
This is also the most accurate way to make mix send ad-
justments via a tablet type controller.
