10—Using the Digital Mixer
Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 135
The faders have markings printed to their left that show the relative position of each
fader in dBs—you can see these in the illustration on the previous page. To the left of
the channel strips area, numbers are printed alongside these markings.
Controlling Fader Group Levels with the Channel Strips
You can simultaneously control the levels of a group of input, track or FX return
channels by moving a single fader. The channels retain their level settings relative to
each other, but can be made louder or softer as a group. This can be handy when, for
example, you want to raise or lower the level of a set of drum tracks in a mix, or
background vocals, and so on. To simultaneously control the levels of a group of
channels, assign each one to one of the 12 available fader groups using the channel’s
CH EDIT GROUP parameter, described on Page 150. You can control each group by
moving the fader of any of its channels.
If you’d like to control several groups’ levels at the same time, press the GROUP
1-12 FADER button to assign the 12 channel strip faders to the control the levels of
Fader Groups 1-12, respectively.
Setting a Fader to Unity Gain and Centering its Panning
The VS-2400CD provides a quick shortcut for setting a channel’s fader to its unity gain
position. This procedure also places the channel’s signal to the center stereo position.
To Reset a Channel’s Fader and Pan
1. Press the desired FADER button.
2. While holding down CLEAR, press the desired channel’s CH EDIT button.
Adjusting Stereo Positioning Using Faders
You can set the stereo positioning—or “panning”—of the 12 currently selected input,
track or FX return channels in the MASTER mix or when you’re bouncing using your 12
faders. This lets you quickly set up the panning for all of your channels without having
to individually navigate to each channel’s pan setting.
Activating Knob Control of Channel Panning
1. Select the desired group of channels. If you want to adjust the stereo position of:
•
Input Channels 1-12
—press IN 1-12.
•
Input Channels 13-16
—press IN 13-16.
•
Track Channels 1-12
—press Tr 1-12.
•
Track Channels 13-24
—press Tr 13-24.
•
FX Return Channels 1-4
—press AUX 1-8/FX 1-4.
When a fader is at its 0dB position, it’s neither adding to or subtracting from the level of
its input signal or recorded track. This position is referred to as “unity gain,” since the
signal’s level leaving the fader is the same as it is coming into the fader.
After adjusting an input’s SENS knob when setting input levels, set its input channel’s
fader to its unity gain position.
As you move a fader to set a channel’s panning, the PAN knob on the Home screen
turns to reflect the changes you make.
