Note that Aux output mimics Phones whenever Solo is selected in its Source option menu. Let’s
consider some practical applications using these options.
AUDITIONING AN AUDIO SOURCE
It can be very useful to be able to preview one or more audio sources, doing so without allowing
the test sound to be audible on Program output. Typically, this need arises in connection with
testing microphones or other audio sources that will be used in the production.
To audition an audio source in this manner:
1. First, Mute it (to remove it from Program output).
2. Then enable Solo – allowing you to hear it on Phones output (and Aux , at times when
Solo is selected as its Source ).
ISOLATING A SOURCE
At other times, you may want to output specially configured audio signals using TriCaster’s Aux
audio output. For instance, some installations call for sending the output from one or more
internal sources (such as a
DDR or the Sounds player) to a secondary distribution system.
Alternatively, you may want a ‘clean’ output from one or more sources for use apart from the
main
Program audio. This arrangement is often referred to as ‘mix-minus.’ It can be invaluable
for productions like ‘phone-in’ shows. The remote caller needs to be able to hear the
interviewer; but if you simply send the main Program mix to him, he will be forced to endure a
late-arriving echo of his own voice – since that, too, is carried on the master mix. Needless to
say, this would be confusing and undesirable.
Suppose your interviewer is speaking into a microphone connected to Input 1 . The audio from
your interviewee is routed into another TriCaster input.
1. Enable the Solo switch for Input 1 .
2. Selecting Solo as the Source for Aux .
This setup gives you a clean output consisting of just the interviewer’s voice on Aux . By
connecting the local input of your remote call hookup to TriCaster’s Aux output, you can send
