21.7.7 LEVEL CONTROL
As you would expect, adjusting the position of a given fader modifies the volume level of the
corresponding control in TriCaster’s Audio Mixer.
For example, pushing the control surface fader labeled Audio1 A raises the volume for the
source labeled Audio 1 A in TriCaster’s Audio Mixer.
21.7.8 KNOB SET SELECTORS
A set of Knob Set selectors (Figure 21-54) runs vertically down the left side of Artist mix (left
of the first fader). Essentially, these are mode buttons that select which audio attributes are
governed by the eight ‘knob sets’ – that being one OLED display group and the knob
immediately beneath it, along with the two buttons to the left of the knob (SEL and ON) in that
set (see Figure 21-55).
Note: The FLIP/CHAN button in this group is a special case, and can be selected even when
another mode is active. Generally speaking, you will very likely find it best to leave this button
off except for certain operations – notably for EQ and Mic Trim adjustments. We’ll discuss these
exceptions in context as we go along.
The default Knob Set mode is PAN. For the most common production operations, this is the
mode you will choose. In fact, at the simplest level, once you have configured the Artist Mix
channels to take any SDI sources into account, you could likely be forgiven for never using
another Knob Set mode.
Generally speaking, the alternative Knob Set modes provide access to deeper audio configuration options and
settings. We’ll provide the details of their use in context as we go along.
21.7.9 PAN CONTROL
Several controls are nested above each fader, along with the matching OLED display group
for that audio input or source. Looking at Figure 21-55 you’ll notice that in the default
operating mode (PAN; See the previous section) the Audio 1A track’s display shows a VU
meter at left, and a PAN graph below the input label. Rotate the knob below the PAN graph
display to adjust PAN for the channel this source is on.
MULTI-CHANNEL PAN CONTROL
For a four channel source, such as an input set to SDI Embedded, TriCaster’s level knobs
each control two channels. An Artist Mix knob set can likewise be configured to control
“Audio1 AB” and “Audio 1 CD” (for example) to control the two channel pairs for a single
SDI source (see Section 21.7.17 for details).
In such cases, the PAN control knob adjusts the first channel by default (A, in this example) for the assigned
pair. To adjust PAN settings for the other channel in the same pair, press the SEL button (just below the OLED
