Record + Small Fader To Monitor
RECORD + SMALL FADER TO MON(ITOR) status provides an alternative record
mode to basic RECORD status. Selection of SMALL FADER TO MON simply swaps
the faders in the Channel and Monitor paths, and can be used in conjunction with both
RECORD and REPLAY status.
In this status, the Mic input is fed via the Large Fader and Pan to the Multitrack
Routing Matrix (the ‘Channel’ signal path) and then to the multitrack itself via the
module’s Group mix amp and Trim control associated with that track of the machine
(i.e. Track 7 is fed from Module 7’s Group Output).
The Small Faders monitor the multitrack sends (GROUP) and returns (TAPE) and feed
these signals to the main Mix outputs and monitoring of the desk, via the module’s
Small Fader pan (the ‘Monitor’ signal path), the Mix busses and the SL952J. Again,
Track 7 will be monitored on Module 7’s Small Fader.
This way of working is particularly suited where you need to handle a large number
of sources simultaneously and want to have fader control of these as close to you as
possible.
Some consoles may have local SMALL FADER TO MON buttons, allowing, for
example, Channels 25-48 only to be switched to this mode. The Large Faders on these
channels can then be used as input faders while the Large Faders on Channels 1-24 act
as monitor faders. Note that SMALL FADER TO MON has no effect in MIX status.
