TASCAM DM-4800 User’s Manual 81
Aux and buss setup
The third page of the
MODULE
screens provides a way
to view and make the aux send settings and the buss
panning between odd- and even-numbered busses
(channel modules only in stereo mode, not surround
mode when the buss pan follow mode is off—see
“BUSS PAN Follows ST PAN” on page 44). Note
also the on-screen
FLW
button below the pan pot on
the right of the screen, which links buss and stereo
panning.
Use the cursor keys to move the “control box” of
four PODs up and down.
For unlinked aux sends, the four POD encoders are
used to set the send levels for the individual aux
sends.
For linked aux sends, the PODs are paired, with the
left encoder being used to set the pan (or balance in
the case of linked channels) position between the two
aux sends, and the right encoder setting the level.
Use the cursor keys and
ENTER key to set the pre/
post aux send position.
NOTE
Aux 1-2 have an extra option here. In addition to being
able to select the pre- and post-fader aux send position,
channels 1 through 48 can also use the “return” signal
(“Input routing” on page 59) as an aux send, allowing
recorder returns to be used as a cue feed to the studio,
etc.
Aux send screens (unlinked) Pressing the
dedicated
AUX function keys brings up appropriate
screens which allow the viewing and setting of aux
sends for all channels:
Moving the cursor around the screen highlights four
on-screen controls where the POD encoders are used
to set the values. In the case of linked channels, the
left POD of the pair is used to set the level.
The POD 2 key is used to select the screen for the
even-numbered aux send level setting.
Copying settings between aux sends and
channel levels
At the bottom of the screen is a
facility that allows the copying of channel levels to
the aux sends, or the other way round. This is useful
when setting up a studio cue monitor mix based on
the channel settings.
Use POD 2 to select between
CH>AUX
and
AUX>CH
,
move the cursor to the on-screen
SET
button, and
press
ENTER. A popup appears to confirm this set-
ting (
ENTER to confirm, cursor keys to cancel).
Batch setting By using POD 3 to set the level,
POD 4 to set the destination either for the odd-num-
bered (
ODD
), or for the even-numbered (
EVEN
), in
groups of eight channels, or for all (
ALL
) channels
together. When you move the cursor to the in-screen
SET button, and press
ENTER
, a popup appears to con-
firm this setting (
ENTER to confirm, cursor keys to
cancel).
