Snapshots An unlimited number of snapshots can be captured, stored, and recalled for
each Project Title. All control parameters of the console are stored in the
snapshots. When a snapshot is recalled, the console typically requires
50 ms to fully reset itself. Snapshots can be recalled through channel pro-
tection filters or function protection filters that yield editing flexibility and
safety in live operations.
Copy & Paste Clipboard The D950 System supports copy and paste of some or all channel settings
to one or more other channels. This ability streamlines the set-up of the
console when an operator is starting from scratch with a new layout. How-
ever, if starting from a clean slate is desired clearing all or some of the pa-
rameters is also possible.
AutoTouch Dynamic Automation Each audio parameter of the D950 mixing console can be stored and re-
called dynamically against timecode information.
Such enormous versatility can be accompanied, of course, by a certain
operation complexity. For this reason, Studer has developed a simple yet
highly practical concept for the D950: all operator controls capable of be-
ing automated are touch-sensitive. If any of these controls is touched while
an automation pass is being played back, the control immediately switches
from “READ” to “RECORD” mode, the modification being written imme-
diately into the automation memory. When the control is released, the re-
action of the corresponding parameter depends on the selected WRITE
option. Null indicators are provided to allow seamless transitions.
Because of this conceptual simplicity, an operator no longer has to worry
about automation and can fully concentrate on creative tasks.
The AutoTouch dynamic automation is an option that can either be inte-
grated when the mixing console is ordered, or retrofitted later in the field.
