At this point, it’s probably a good idea to mess around with these three settings in a variety
of methods until you fully grasp what it does, how it works and what it can do for you and
your needs. Once understood, we’ll move onto Fixed View Follow Mode [super-easy to master]
and Advanced Follow Mode [not quite as easy to conceive, but we’ll get you dialed in!]
The following is a common setup utilizing the Fixed View Follow Mode.
iPad A – Current Selected Channel
iPad B – Fixed View
iPad C – Fixed View
Here, iPad A is always displaying the current view of the currently selected channel...again,
right in front of the Fat Channel controls. And this iPad follows your every move, updating
the view and/or channel with a simple touch of a button or turn of an encoder. But iPad’s B
and C are locked down – xed – on whatever channel and whatever view you decide.
These views will not change no matter how many buttons are touched or encoders are
turned. A change will only occur when (A) it’s made on the actual iPad or (B) when the iPad’s
Follow Mode is changed from Fixed View to something else.
A common scenario is setting iPad B’s Fixed View to Overview so you have constant visibility
of the entire mixer, able to make changes quickly and eciently. Then iPad C’s Fixed View
could be placed on an (important) channel’s Channel View. A lead vocalist’s FX channel,
for example. With this conguration, you can touch a channel on the overview and it will
be selected on the DC16 surface and iPad A.
One Follow Mode I like to use is this:
iPad A – Current Selected Channel
iPad B – Fixed View
iPad C – 1st History Selected Channel
Here, iPad A is set to the Current Selected Channel, iPad B is set to Fixed View on the
Overview and iPad C is set to 1st History Selected Channel taking on the history of
whatever was previously viewed on iPad A.
