12 follow, 13 eq control – NewTek TriCaster Advanced Edition User Guide User Manual

That’s just a wordy way of explaining how it is that a

SOLO button

always toggles the Solo feature for its

respective source; and likewise the

ON

(Mute) buttons always mute or un-mute them – even when you might

be in a different mode.

Hint: As with most convenient rules, there is one exception to the above. If the SOLO and ON buttons are
unresponsive, check to see if the

SHIFT LOCK

button (i.e., the left

SHIFT

button on the control surface) is lit; if it is, turn

it off.

At the time of writing, multi-selection of Solo is not supported on the Artist Mix surface (though it can be
performed in the TriCaster user interface).

FOLLOW

Two other small buttons sit just to the left of each fader strip. These are labeled

AUTO/REC N

and

ASSIGN/SEL Y

. The latter is not normally relevant in (the default)

PAN

mode, but we are

interested in the first –

AUTO/REC N

. This button (with the earlier caveat about

SHIFT LOCK

in

mind) toggles the Follow feature on and off for the designated TriCaster audio source.

Having covered the basic control functions and settings, let’s advance to consider the tools
available in different Knob Set modes.

22.7.13

EQ CONTROL

TriCaster provides independent 7-band equalization along with Compressor/Limiter
features for each source. And Artist Mix lets you access the controls without ever touching
the TriCaster user interface.

To display EQ controls, it will probably come as no surprise by this point that you need to
push the EQ button in the Knob Set control group.

FIGURE 317

The OLED display will now appear as seen in Figure 317. Normally, all 7 bands for a single input are shown
in this manner. In this mode, the knobs below the graph in each group control the setting for a single EQ
band, shown above.

Note that the label for one input is highlighted in the OLED display. (For example, Figure 318 shows a
highlight behind the Line 1 label; Line 2 is not highlighted.)
