Let’s say you want to set the level at which input pair 1/2 is monitored for
each of the four stereo analog output pairs on Gina. You would first find
the monitor control that corresponds to inputs 1/2 (the control on the far left,
directly below the input control for channels 1/2). Clicking on the button
within this box labeled “1/2” causes the control box to display the currently
selected levels at which inputs 1/2 are being monitored at outputs 1/2.
Clicking on the button labeled “3/4” would cause the control box to display
the currently selected levels at which inputs 1/2 were being monitored at
outputs 3/4. You can move through the remaining buttons, setting the level
at which inputs 1/2 are monitored at each of the five output pairs. The
console program remembers any settings that you make, and all settings for
all outputs are maintained independently.
In the “
Monitors - Group Mode
” menu, you can select the group mode
function which lets you easily move through the output pairs on Gina,
building the monitor mix that you want for each output. Let’s say you have
four musicians, each one listening to their own discrete output pair.
Clicking “Group Mode,” then clicking on output button “1/2” on any of the
monitor panels would cause all of the monitor controls to become active for
outputs 1/2. You could make adjustments for each input pair as necessary.
Clicking on “3/4” in any of the panels would then switch all of the monitor
controls to the levels for output pair 3/4, so you could set the levels for the
next musician, and so on.
Remember that all of the inputs are continuously monitored by all of the
outputs at some level. The degree of attenuation (or muting) of that level is
set by the monitor controls. The console program constantly maintains a
level setting for each of the 20 monitor paths it controls. Clicking on an
output selection button simply selects the settings that are displayed.
Output Controls
The right hand side of the console is dedicated to the controls for output
channels one through eight (an output meter is included for the two S/PDIF
output channels, but these levels are not adjustable). The available controls
are: Gang, Mute, Solo, meter on/off and volume slider.
