4 – Routing & assignment : Monitoring
TASCAM DM-3200 User’s Manual 55
However, these assignments can be changed using
the
MONITOR screen:
Move the cursor to the selection dial of any of the
three selectors, use the dial to select the source, and
press
ENTER.
The sources that may be selected for these monitor
selectors are:
• The eight aux sends
• The four linked pairs of aux sends
• The sixteen busses
• The eight link buss pairs
• The two digital stereo inputs
• The analog 2-track input
• Oscillator
TIP
The three assignable monitoring buttons are provided
with “scribble strips” allowing you to mark the current
functions with an appropriate marker.
The Follow LINK setting allows a stereo setting to be
made from a mono source, by following the links
between adjacent aux sends or busses.
When this checkbox is off, and an unlinked odd-
numbered aux send or buss is selected as the monitor
source, that source is output in mono from the moni-
tor outputs.
When this checkbox is on, and a linked odd-num-
bered aux send or buss is selected as the monitor
source, that source is output from the left monitor
channel, and the linked even-numbered aux send or
buss is output from the right monitor channel.
When a linked pair of sends or busses is selected as
the monitor source, this checkbox has no effect.
The volume of the analog output to the control room
monitors is controlled using the dedicated
CR vol-
ume control.
The
DIM “smart key” (see “Smart keys” on page 16)
lowers the level from the control room outputs when
active. The amount by which the level is dimmed is
set from this screen using the POD 2 encoder .
NOTE
Monitoring in surround mode is a different process,
best achieved through use of the optional IF-FW/DM
surround monitor card.
Studio cue source
The studio source may be set up to mirror the control
room source by selecting the
From CONTROL ROOM
option, or it may be set independently using the
upper option.
Turn the dial and press
ENTER to make the selection.
The options available here are:
• The stereo buss
• The four linked pairs of aux sends
• The eight link buss pairs
• The two digital stereo inputs
• The analog 2-track input
• The internal oscillator
• The control room monitor
TIP
Since there are several options in the routing, etc. that
only affect the aux 1–2 sends, we suggest that you use
these as a separate studio cue feed.
The volume of the studio cue is adjusted from this
screen using the POD 4 encoder.
