From the diagram opposite you will see that, if required, the Large or Small Fader Pan
outputs can be assigned to any one or more of the Stereo Subgroups. If you need to
create audio subgroups of source signals, in order to apply overall signal processing,
this can be very easily set up by using the Stereo Subgroups and outboard signal
processors, or spare I/O modules (see Page 2- 25). For convenient level control,
Monitor (Large in RECORD status) Faders can be assigned to the eight group control
faders in the centre of the desk.
Track Bouncing
If you have previously been using an SL4000 desk, you will probably be familiar with
the FLOAT function. Amongst other uses, this provided a simple method of setting up
for track bouncing. The same effect can be just as easily obtained on the SL9000 but
requires the selection/deselection of two switches.
As an example, say that we want to bounce Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4 down to a stereo pair
on Tracks 7 and 8, and we are still in RECORD status. First assign the Large Faders on
Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the Routing Matrix by selecting the associated
LF button.
Note that this toggles with the SF button. While in this area, select routing buttons 7
and 8 on each of these modules, having first ensured that the 1-24 routing bank switch
is also selected.
Now move to the foot of the module and deselect the LF MIX button to prevent
‘double monitoring’ during the bounce. Select GROUP on Channels 7&8 and set the
Large Fader pans on these channels to left and right. Set the Large Faders on 7 and 8 to
unity gain.
Run the tape and balance the mix of tracks 1-4 on the Large (Monitor) Faders of those
channels. If not already set, the Large Fader pans can be used to create the required
stereo image.
For more experienced SSL users, this may at first seem over-complicated. However,
unlike the SL4000 Series, the Small Fader remains available while track bouncing, and
panning across the multitrack busses follows the Large Fader pan control. Think,
moreover, of the potential available when you can freely assign Small or Large Fader
outputs to the Routing or main Mix busses in any console status.
