Programming the iD Button
The iD button can be programmed to
perform different functions (see below). This
can be set by clicking on the iD icon in the
master section of the iD App and selecting
the function from the list of choices.
ScrollControl
This allows the encoder to be used as a
scrollwheel for the computer. This allows
you to control plugin parameters and
anything else that is scrollable. This works
well for adding automation or setting
parameters in a hands on way.
To use
ScrollControl , hover your mouse
over whatever you want to control and
rotate the encoder.
ScrollControl may act slightly different on
different plugins or DAWs depending on
how they have been programmed to work
with scrolling. If you find it is too sensitive
or not sensitive enough, you can try adjust
your computer scrolling speed.
Mono
A useful feature to check mono
compatibility of mixes (important for DAB
radio and laptop/tablet users)
Mono + Polarity
This will cancel the centre (sum) of
the stereo signal and leave behind the
difference signal (L-R). Monitoring this
provides a great way to listen to stereo
content such as reverbs and also pick up
tricks from your favourite mix engineers.
It is a very useful and different perspective
of the mix balance.
Dim
Provides a -15dB Dim which is useful if you
want to quickly turn down the level to your
speakers without changing the encoder and
losing your monitoring level.
Talkback
Use the iD button to toggle talkback. See
page 25 for information on setting up and
using Talkback.
SOFTWARE FEATURES
Channel View Settings
When tracking (without using a digitally
expanded iD14) it is most likely that the
following channel view (Analogue + DAW)
would be the most useful, enabling you to
see mic/line inputs and DAW returns:
Volume Control
The Main Mix of the iD mixer is sent to
the outputs which are set-up as Main
Mix in the Routing Matrix (see page 24).
This is your monitor destination and
should be connected to your main studio
loudspeakers. This means that you need to
turn the main mix fader up on any channel
that you want to hear (for speaker output
this is typcially just DAW 1+2).
To control the volume of an output, select
the output using the correct encoder mode
button then use the encoder (left image), or
use the coresponding knob in the master
section of the software (right image).
To mute an output, press the encoder
quickly. If you only want it to mute
momentarily then hold it down, and when
it is released it will unmute the audio. In
software, press the output icon to mute it.
When an output is muted the encoder
button on the unit will flash, and in software
the icon will be white.
SOFTWARE FEATURES
For simple monitoring /
listening or in the box
mixing it may be cleaner
to view just the master
section. When fully
expanded via ADAT with
a device like an ASP800,
you can view all channels
(after 10 mono slots, a
scroll bar appears).
