5 – Channel modules : Aux and buss setup82 TASCAM DM-4800 User’s ManualSource selection POD keys 3 and 4 select theaux send source screens. Select between pre-fader(PRE) or post-fader (POST). For aux 1 and 2 only, theRETURN input can also be selected as the send source(for studio cue monitoring).Linked channels are controlled together by the odd-numbered (left) POD of the pair.The BATCH SETUP section at the bottom right of thescreen allows the setting of the same source forgroups of eight channels, or for all (ALL) channelstogether. A popup appears to confirm this setting(ENTER to confirm, cursor keys to cancel).Aux send pan/balance screens (linked)When two aux sends are linked (for stereo cue or tofeed the stereo inputs of an effects processor, forexample), these screens change slightly.In addition to the screen controlling the linked sendlevels to the linked aux sends and the screen control-ling the sources to the linked aux sends, there is athird screen, which provides the ability to view andadjust the pan (and balance for linked channels) set-tings to the linked aux sends (accessed with the POD2 key).This works in the same way as the previous screens,with the addition of a batch pan setting facility.There is also a way of copying the current channelpan settings to the aux send pair pan settings (and theother way round). This can be used for setting upmonitor cue mixes based on the stereo mix, or simplyfor echoing the current position in the mix whenfeeding stereo effect processors.Use the POD 2 encoder to select whether to copy thepan/balance settings from the channels to the auxsends (CH→AUX) or from the aux sends to the chan-nels (AUX→CH). Use the on-screen SET button to actu-ally perform the parameter copy. A popup appears toconfirm this setting (ENTER to confirm, cursor keysto cancel).Using the encoders You can use the first eightencoders in one of the aux modes (see “Encoders” onpage 22) to set the aux send levels and/or pans(depending on the setting) for the selected channelmodule.Note that if the preference for the encoders to followthe current screen is set (see “Encoder Mode FollowsCurrent Screen” on page 44) the encoders will auto-matically change to the aux send and pan/balancemode when the aux screens are selected.Using the “fat channel” Use the “fat channel”encoders to set the levels of the 12 aux sends, and theSCREEN key to jump quickly to the aux send screenfor the selected channel.Figure 5.13: Aux pan/balance screen (linked)
