Total Recall
Total Recall records the position of all the switches and rotary controls in the console’s
channel modules and, additionally, the positions of controls in the centre section. Once
stored, these ‘setups’ can be recalled, enabling the console to be reset to within 0.25dB
tolerance.
The console controls are manually reset in conjunction with a graphic display (see
Page 6-2) which compares the stored positions of controls with their current positions.
To reduce the reset time, an Autoscan function can be used to rapidly locate those
controls that are incorrectly set.
Total Recall can be equally used where you want to return to a specific setup stored
earlier in the session or if you are moving your project to another studio. In the latter
case, it makes no difference if the facility you are moving to has a larger or smaller
console, or even a different layout. Total Recall information can be freely copied from
one channel to another.
Saving Total Recall Setups
Total Recall setups are saved on a per-project basis under Total R ec all Se tu p in the
Project File Settings pop-up. Select MIX-DESK/Project/Settings or hit the dedicated
PROJECT SETTINGS button. If you are not familiar with the Settings pop-up (see
opposite), read Section 2 for more information.
Scroll the element list to reveal the box below the Total Recall Setup entry. When you
save a Total Recall setup, the QWERTY pop-up will appear so you can enter a suitable
name for the setup. Once entered, the name of the last setup saved will be displayed in
this ‘name’ box. A saved setup is also automatically stamped with the current time
and date, regardless of whether you give the setup a name or not.
Although you need to understand the connection between Total Recall setups and
Project Files, saving a setup in practice is simply a matter of pressing the dedicated
SAVE TR button on the computer front panel. This will save a Total Recall setup to
disk, regardless of the state of the Save tick for Total Recall Setup in the Settings pop-
up. Note that this function only works when the MIX-DESK display is on the screen.
Since this separate facility exists to save Total Recall setups, it makes sense to disable
the Total Recall Setup entry from a save in the Settings pop-up, so that you will not
accidentally take a new setup each time you save other project elements with the
SAVE PROJECT function. If you do wish to save a TR setup from the SAVE PROJECT
button, please note that, as well as having a cross in the Safe column and a tick in the
Save column, Auto on the Settings page must be turned off.
