Channel Features
Mix Selection
Clicking on one of the mix tabs allows you
to make changes to that mix. When a mix
is selected, it expands to reveal additional
controls for that mix.
Cue Mix Name
Double-clicking on a Cue Mixes name allows
you to rename the Cue Mix. If, for example,
you were creating mixes for two separate
band members, you could name them
‘Drummer’ and ‘Guitarist’.
Mix Solo
The Solo button allows you to audition each
of the Cue Mixes through your monitors.
Mix Level
The Mix level allows you to control the overall
level of the Cue Mix that is sent to the outputs.
Mix Meters
The Mix meters show the master signal level
of the selected mix.
Chronometer
The Chronometer allows you to see not only
the current signal level but also the signal
level from a few seconds previously.
This can be great to track down a sudden
loud transient on a particular cue mix or to
monitor the change in level over time as you
make changes to a mix.
Channel Views
These three buttons allow you to control which
of the three channel types are shown in the
mixer. If for example, you weren’t using the
digital inputs for a particular project, you can
simply hide the optical channels by clicking
‘OPT’.
Monitor Controls
These six buttons control various aspects of
iD48’s monitor controller capability. The
function of each control can be found below:
• TB (Talkback)
The Talkback button switches talkback
on and o. More information regarding
talkback and its various settings can be
found in the ‘System Panel’ section of this
manual.
• ø (Phase Flip)
Pressing this switch flips the phase of
one side of the stereo field. Pressing this
switch will also trigger the Mono button.
This will remove centred elements from
your monitoring in order to hear the
panned elements of a mix.
• Mono
The Mono button sums the stereo outputs
down to mono. This can be used to
quickly check the mono compatibility of
your mix to make sure it’ll sound great
almost anywhere.
