Example 2: Goal: The value of channel 3 should be lowered by 4 dB on “Snapshot #1”,
“Snapshot #3”, and “Snapshot #5”.
These snapshots currently contain the following fader values:
“Snapshot #1”: 0 dB; “Snapshot #3”: –5 dB; “Snapshot #5”: –10 dB.
Therefore, after the update they should contain the new, updated values:
“Snapshot #1”: –4 dB; “Snapshot #3”: –9 dB; “Snapshot #5”: –14 dB.
Procedure: Make sure the Enable Trim mode option in the “Option: Snapshot
Automation” menu is set.
Recall any snapshot.
Hold ISO on channel strip 3. Touch the fader twice in order to put it into
Trim mode.
Lower the fader of channel 3 by 4 dB (the exact trim value will be dis-
played on the Vistonics
®
screen).
Select “Snapshot #1” with the trackball.
Hold the CTRL key on the control bay, and select “Snapshot #3” and
“Snapshot #5”.
Click on “Recall and Update”, and confirm that you want to overwrite
these snapshots.
The console will automatically recall and update the selected snapshots.
Since the console assumes that the controls being in Trim mode have been
placed into this mode for the purpose of this update, the operator will be
asked whether these controls should be taken out of Trim mode afterwards.
8.6.2 Saving Snapshot Masks
When working with partial snapshots (option available in “Option: “Snap-
shot Automation”), it is possible to right-click on the Edit
link to the right
of the snapshots. A context menu will allow not only copying and pasting
of masks between snapshots, but also saving and loading of masks to/from
files. The files will be saved in the C:\d950System\Users directory.
This function can be very helpful when multiple operators are working on
the console. During rehearsals, both operators may randomly save snap-
shots. After the rehearsal they select “their” snapshots and apply a prepared
mask to them. This will make these particular snapshots only influence the
part of the console which the operator was working on. Other applications
may contain any recall of more complex masks.
