Starting a New Session
10. If desired, press the channel’s SELECT but-
ton and adjust the EQ in the Fat Channel (see
page 6-28). You may need to readjust the
channel’s TRIM control after changing the
EQ setting.
11. Repeat steps 4–9 on the next channel that is
being used.
12. Once you’ve achieved a rough mix using this
method, clear all soloed channels and monitor
the mix in the Control Room outputs (with all
channels assigned to the L-R bus, and L-R se-
lected as the Control Room source) or the
Main L-R Output, and use the channel faders
to adjust individual levels. Leave the TRIM
controls alone. This will give you the best sig-
nal-to-noise ratio in your mix.
Note: If you use the built-in compressor on any
channels, you can get away with turning the
TRIM control up a little higher, since the com-
pressor will reduce the chance of transient peaks
reaching digital clipping (see “Using The Com-
pressor” on page 6-38).
Using the Channel V-Pots
These are non-detented pots with no stop
(range >360 degrees), and a 12-segment LED
indicator collar. Each V-Pot controls a single
function at a time on its given channel, globally
chosen and applying to all channels. The default
assignment is Pan, which can be selected with
the PAN button in the Master V-Pot Section.
Other assignment options include eight mono
and two stereo aux sends (located in the V-Pot
Select Section), Digital Trim for each of the 48
channels, and tape send level for the Tape Outputs.
When Pan is selected in the Master V-Pot
Section, the LED pattern around the V-Pot
indicates the relative panoramic position of the
channel between the left and right buses. When
the Pan control is set to exact center, an LED
located at the 6 o’clock position lights.
Note: The Pan function does not apply to Fader
Bank 4. The MIDI Controllers’ Pan control
works as a continuous controller.
When an aux send is selected, the channel
V-Pot controls the aux send level for its respec-
tive channel, and the Master V-Pot, located at
the right end of the V-Strip, controls the summed
aux send level of all the channels assigned to it.
The aux send level LED pattern wraps clock-
wise from 7 o’clock (full off = –
∞
dB) to 5 o’clock
(full on = +10 dB). Unity gain is at 2 o’clock.
Adjusting the Channel PAN Control
TO ADJUST THE CHANNEL PAN CONTROL
From the console:
1. Press the PAN button below the
MASTER V-Pot. The Master V-Pot
becomes disabled, and the channel
V-Pots become pan controls.
2. Rotate the channel V-Pot to the right to
position the signal right of center, and
rotate it to the left to position the sig-
nal to the left of center. The ring of
LEDs around the V-Pot indicates the
relative position setting of the control.
When the V-Pot is centered, the small
LED at the bottom of the V-Pot lights.
