Meter Displays the Pre-fader Level of Each Channel.
Each channel features a fader for accurate level monitoring. Each meter
displays the pre-fader, pre-Fat Channel signal. If the Post button is
engaged, the meter will display the post-Fat Channel, pre-fader signal.
In this way, you will always have a visual cue to how hot your recording
signal is in your monitor mix.
Stereo Link Button Joins the Channel into a Stereo Pair.
The Link button joins two channels into a stereo pair. When channels are
linked, the volume of both will be controlled with either fader. A stereo
link can be enabled when either channel in the pair is selected. When the
Stereo Link button is enabled, all dynamics settings, bus assignments, etc.,
are pasted to the other channel in the pair.
Phase Reverse Button Reverses the Phase of the Input Channel.
Push this button to invert the phase of the selected channel’s signal (that
is, to change the phase 180°). The button will illuminate, indicating that
Phase Reverse is active. The Phase Reverse button can be used to correct
audio signals that are out of phase and cancelling/reinforcing each other.
Phase Reverse is accessible from the Main VSL Page and from the Gate
Zoom.
Phase Reverse is only available on the analog input channels.
Power User Tip: Use Phase Reverse when recording with more than one open
microphone to combat phase cancellation between microphones.
Post Button Engages Post Fat Channel Recording.
Each of the analog inputs can be recorded pre- or post-Fat Channel EQ
and dynamics processing. To record the EQ and dynamics processing on
any channel, simply enable the Post button. It will illuminate, indicating
that the Fat Channel signal path is being routed to your DAW’s recording
input. If this mode is not enabled, the signal recorded in your DAW will
not include any of the Fat Channel processing (Phase Reverse, Gate,
Compressor, EQ, Limiter).
It should be noted that the effects buses cannot be recorded. You can
add reverb and delay to your recorded files later, using DAW plug-ins.
The Post button is only available on the Overview Tab
and only for the analog and digital input channels.
