The "STUDIO>CR" key switches the Cue mix (Sends 3/4) to the Control Room outputs

(MAIN/NEAR). This way you can adjust the talent's cue mix while listening to it on the control room

monitors.

If you haven't assigned a cue mix to sends 3/4, it does mute the control room.

Linking / Unlinking Channel Pairs

Please explain the stereo linking / unlinking process.

Hold the SELECT key for one of the channels and press the SELECT key for the adjacent channel.

This procedure allows to Link/Unlink any Channel pair. Note that you can only link adjacent Odd-

Even channels, not Even-Odd. For instance, you can link 1&2, or 3&4, but not 2&3. When channels

are paired, not only the Faders, Channel ON (Mute) and SELECT keys are linked, but also all

channel processing: EQ, DYN, FX/AUX sends, as well as L/R and GROUP Assign.

Metronome – Misc. facts

The metronome follows the Tempo and Time Signature settings in SETUP/TEMPO.

The Metronome Level is controlled in SETUP/PREFS.

It can be routed to the Control Room output (F5: METRO ON/OFF in MAIN/GRID pages), but also to

any input channel, track or output in the PATCH pages.

The metronome clicks work not only in standard playback, but also when using the jog wheel!

Meaning, you can find edit points with the metronome!!!! When you jog through, the clicks line up

with the audio.

The clicks stay as a short click and are engaged right on the beat. Works going forward in time with

the inner jog wheel. No MIDI mess, just to keep time. Since the DPS can act as the MTC master,

blam! Everything recorded to the metronome can perfectly sync with added MIDI instruments later,

even after any editing (using the metronome to find points) of the mic’d stuff!

I usually record the metronome to a track and keep it on track 24. Then the same beat is there for the

life of the project and you can turn it off and on at will as well as mixing it into the studio feed.

You can change Tempo / Time Sig at the beginning of each bar:

While in the TEMPO MAP page, locate to the bar where you want to make a change and press F5 or

F6 to insert a new Tempo or Time Sig change). You can assign the Metronome to an input channel

and use the Mute automation to switch it on/off.
