Channel grouping
With the 833 all of the 8 channels can be grouped together so that their faders, record arming state mute states can be controlled
together. Channel grouping can be used as an alternative to sending channels to a bus.
Circled take
An identifying character, the @ symbol, which is placed in the file name to highlight a take. Circled takes can either be used to
identify good takes or to identify tracks or takes that will be ignored
Com return
A dedicated audio input designed to receive signals from a PL, or private line communications circuit. The com return on the 833
can routed to an output or a bus.
Com send
A dedicated output designed to send signal to a PL (private line, talkback) communications circuit. The com send is toggled by a
front panel switch.
dBFS
A measurement of the signal level of a digital signal in dB increments, dB relative to full scale signal. The maximum signal in dBFS
is 0 dBFS, with signals expressed with a negative sign. dBFS signal strength is an internal measurement and does not correspond
to analog signals unless the relationship between analog signal and digital signal is known.
Delay (channel)
Time delay that can be applied to an individual channel. Channel delay, typically set in milliseconds, is often used to compensate for
different acoustical or electrical arrival times of signals between channels.
Dugan Automix
An automatic mixing algorithm invented by Dan Dugan which when used across multiple microphone inputs for speech, makes
decisions about which inputs should be given priority due to speech being present vs. open, but unused inputs. This allows for
greatly improved audio by turning down the inputs that aren’t used and automatically turning up the inputs that are being used in
real-time and transparently
exFAT
A storage volume format that can be read and written from current versions of MacOS and Windows. exFAT supports volume sizes
up to 128 PB (gigantic), and individual files can have a maximum size of 16 EB (even more gigantic, bigger than the maximum
volume size).
Fader
A physical control on a mixing console, either a rotary or sliding potentiometer, that controls the level of a channel to a bus. Most
faders have more attenuation than gain available and a unity gain position where the input trim level established the level to the bus.
False take
A recorded take that was either erroneously recorded, or a take that needs to be repeated. It can be labeled after recording. An
identified false take is moved to the trash bin and the auto-incrementing take number is reset to the value prior to the false take.
ile list
Every file recorded by a recorder is visible in the file list. It can be viewed either on a recorder or from a computer when the
recording volume is mounted. The file list shows all the individual files recorded by a recorder.
Frame rate
The rate at which video or motion picture images are recorded or played back, measured in frames-per second (FPS). All audio and
video devices must be running at the same frame rate to keep audio and video synchronized. Timecode frame rates are either an
integer or non-integer value. Integer values include 24, 25, and 30 FPS. Non-integer frame rates include 23.976 and 29.97, and
29.97 drop FPS.
Frequency
The period at which a wave oscillates, measured in hertz (Hz). Frequencies audible to humans range from 20 Hz for very low
frequency signals to 20 kHz for very high frequency signals.
Gain
An increase (or decrease with negative gain) in the level of an audio signal. Gain can be applied in several locations, to both analog
and digital signals. In a field mixer the microphone preamplifier provides a substantial amount of gain at the trim to raise the low
