AFES

Solo-in-place can mute all the console large mute switches which includes the monitor and channel path
mutes in the I/O channels, the dual stereo input channels, aux sends 5 and 6. To hear the effect of
soloed channels the required outputs should not be muted. You may also wish to always hear the effect
of signal processing devices such as reverbs connected to the console aux sends and returns. Here, the
aux sends and channels allocated as effects returns should not mute when solo is activated.
The GS3000 includes a 'solo safe' facility so that selected mutes can be disabled from the solo system.
This works in the same way as the 'mute safes' described earlier but affects solo and not the mute groups
or patches. Setting up solo safes should be done before the recording or mixdown session. ‘Solo safe’
settings are retained on power off and can be archived via MIDI.

Make a Channel 'Solo Safe'

Press the EDIT SAFES switch. The EDIT SAFES LED and SOLO-IN-PLACE
switch flashes.

All mutes will turn on except those already made SOLO SAFE.

Press the individual mute switches to be made safe.

Note: audio mutes are affected during SOLO SAFE editing.

Press the EDIT SAFES switch to exit 'solo safe' mode and return the console to
normal operation.

or;

Press the SOLO-IN-PLACE switch to exit 'solo safe' mode and activate solo-in-
place mode.

Channel safe

Press the CHANNEL SAFE switch to exclude the SOLO-IN-PLACE function
from all channel path mutes of the I/O channels. This prevents accidental solo
muting of the channels being recorded. The monitor mix can be soloed without
affecting the recording.
