22.7.17 INSERT
The
INPUT/INSERTS
button serves several important purposes. It can be used to
reassign the label for a slider input to a different TriCaster audio control by name, or
to insert (or remove) a new (initially unassigned) control column on the surface.
Controls for unused inputs or outputs can be removed from the surface, or if you
wish, you can re-order controls using the Remove and Insert features. To insert a
new control strip on the surface, proceed as follows
1. Make sure
FLIP
and
CHAN
are both turned off, and then
press the
INSERTS
button in the Knob Set group.
2. Rotate the knob for Input one clockwise, cycling
through optional settings until the label above the
knob says Insert.
At this point, the small
SEL
button just left of the rotary
knob begins to flash, to indicate that if you wish to
confirm your selection you must press it (otherwise,
press
MIX/PAN
to cancel the operation and revert to the
original selection).
3. Press the
SEL
button to execute the insertion.
This action inserts a new, unassigned control, pushing the original Artist Mix
control group to the right to make room for the addition.
4. Slowly rotate the same knob again – this time, you could choose an option
(such as Master 1 option), and then press
SEL
once more to lock the input to
TriCaster’s Input 1a (left) input channel. Instead, just select Remove this
time and press
SEL to confirm.
Hint: Normally, if you insert a source that already appears elsewhere in the layout, the
inserted control group is kept and the original is removed.
22.7.18 LOCKING CHANNELS
By default, Artist Mix presents control groups for each TriCaster audio source in
their natural order from left to right. It can be very desirable however, to lock one
