Controlling Parameters
Most parameters are handled in the same way as on a mono
channel; the only difference is that you are applying the same
settings to left and right sides (or left, right and centre for an
LRC output).
The differences are:
• Metering – the VUs on the console surface always
meter the left channel. The VUs on the Main Mix display
meter both the left and right sides of a stereo channel.
Note that if a Group, Aux or Matrix bus is LRC, the on-screen
VUs meter only left and right. If the Master bus is LRC, then all
three component channels are metered on the right hand side
of the Main Mix display.
• Dynamics – dynamics processing operates as a true
stereo section. All inputs are monitored; the highest
input drives the sidechain control signal. This ensures
that all sides of the compressor (or limiter, gate,
expander) respond in equal measure to the highest input
signal (left, right or centre).
• Delay – if you insert delay onto a stereo channel, then
this automatically uses two (LR) or three (LRC) delay
resources.
• Insert – if you assign an insert, then you will be
prompted to assign the left and then the right side of the
insert. If the insert is an internal FX unit, then you will be
asked if you wish to link the unit for stereo operation.
• Pan – stereo channels offer Width and Balance Control
(see next page).
• Output channel processing – remember that for output
channels to have signal processing, they must be routed
to UM8 outputs or be assigned internal DSP resource.
LR channels use two DSP resources; LRC channels use
three DSP resources.
