TASCAM DM-4800 User’s Manual 73
Also see “Fader control” on page 73 for details of
how to view and make fader settings globally.
TIP
You can use the one-step mode for ultra-fine control
here. See “Encoder behavior (fine and coarse)” on
page 26.
MUTE button Allows the module to be muted
and un-muted (echoes the status of the hardware
MUTE key).
PAN (BALANCE) control Use POD 4 to change
the value of this control (pan changes to balance
when channels are linked).
PAN follow button Use this control like the
buss option described in “BUSS PAN Follows ST
PAN” on page 44.
INSERT button (with linked or stereo modules,
two such buttons are available), allowing you to turn
the soft insert(s) on and off (see “Insert patching” on
page 61) for details.
Phase button (with linked or stereo modules, two
such buttons are available), allowing you to reverse
the phase of the input on the selected channel(s).
AUX1-2 button (on buss and stereo modules
only), allowing the buss or stereo mix to be routed
through to the aux 1-2 pair (typically for studio fold-
back purposes).
STEREO button (on buss and aux modules only)
allowing the buss or aux send to be routed to the ste-
reo buss.
Group assignment displays These display,
but do not allow change on this screen, any fader or
mute group assignments.
NOTE
The buss assignments of channel modules are not
shown on the display, as the appropriate buss assign
indicators light to show the buss assignments when a
channel module is selected.
Fader control
From the
METER/FADER
screens, select either the
CH
FADER
or
MASTER M/F
tabs:
In the channel fader screen shown here, the current
fader/pan positions and mute status of all 64 channel
modules are shown.
Moving the cursor around this screen highlights pan
controls or faders in blocks of four (you can also use
the channel SEL keys or auto to jump around the
screen). Use the four POD encoders to adjust the on-
screen controls.
Linked channels may have their pan position or fader
level set using either POD control.
Mute status and links are also visible on this screen,
though these cannot be set here.
Note that in surround mode, the surround L-R pan-
ning is displayed and set here using the POD controls
when the on-screen pan controls are highlighted.
Setting levels in blocks To set a master level in
blocks of eight channels, move the cursor to the bot-
tom right of the screen (
SETUP
) and then use POD 3
encoder to adjust the fader level. POD 4 selects the
group to be set (in groups of eight channels), or all
channels (
ALL
).
Press the on-screen
SET button when done. A popup
message asks you to confirm the setting (
ENTER) or
cancel the operation (cursor key).
Master screen The
MASTER METER/FADER
screen
works in a similar way. The top of the screen shows
the buss, aux send and stereo meters (metering points
