* PRE-FADER: the meter shows the level of signal at the input of the channel, before the fader but
after the EQ/DYN section. (2)
* POST-FADER: the meter shows the level of signal at the output of the channel, after the fader. (3)
Therefore, the position of the fader affects the meter only with the POST-FADER setting.
If you are looking at the Channel page of an Input channel, PRE-EQ allows you to view the signal
coming from the input source (ADC or Digital input). POST FADER allows you to view the
"processed" signal going out of the input channel (with EQ/DYN and Fader adjustment).
If you are looking at the Channel page of a Track channel, PRE-EQ allows you to view the signal
from the track. If the track is armed for recording and the DPS24 is stopped or in record (or the
DPS24 is playing and INP MON is ON), you are monitoring the Disk Record Source for that track.
Therefore, PRE-EQ allows you to view the exact signal going to the track, regardless of its
monitoring level.

S/PDIF vs. AES/EBU– consumer vs. pro? Also SCMS issues? Adapters?
I thought we wanted the AES/EBU connection because its the recognized international professional
standard. S/PDIF was consumer standard and that suggested going S/PDIF might run into SMCS
restrictions?
AES/EBU = XLR-connector-type
S/PDIF = RCA-connector-type
The AES/EBU and S/PDIF standards are very similar, but not quite the same. The data stream
between AES/EBU and SPDIF is almost the same (only a couple status bits are different, the SCMS
bit in particular). On the Digital Input, the DPS24 automatically recognizes both types of data stream,
and it doesn't look at the SCMS bit in the SPDIF mode.
It is unadvisable to connect one type to the other simply using adapters on a cable, although in an
emergency, it would probably pass data. One standard is not really superior to the other, although
AES/EBU uses more robust connectors and better cabling, and can send signals longer distances,
although in all cases these distances should be kept to a minimum.
For the Stereo Digital Output, you can select CONSUMER (SPDIF) or PROFESSIONAL (AES/EBU)
data stream. (in SETUP / PREFS / AUDIO SETUP / SPDIF Format)
Again, the SCMS bit is set to OFF in consumer mode.

Deleting Automation Data
Anyone know what the quickest way to delete automation data is. It’s the first time I’ve ever used
automation before, so excuse me if this sounds a little dumb! Currently, I’m using the overwrite
function and recording over the whole of the track, or tracks, I want to delete automation from. Surely
there is a quicker way to do this that I’m not aware of?
1) In the Edit mode, "highlight" the entire track you want to remove auto on.
2) Select "Cut" - with automation data "on."
3) Paste with automation data "off."
You're finished!
