Using the Solo Bus for Monitoring

5. Solo Modes. (Defaults to Radio mode) These buttons let you choose from the
following behavioral modes for channel soloing:
- Latch. In this mode, you can solo multiple channels or buses at once.
- Radio. In this mode, only one channel or bus can be soloed at a time. When
this mode is chosen, the Select Follows Solo button appears. Enabling this
option causes channels and buses to be selected for Fat Channel editing
when soloed (as though the corresponding Select button had been pressed).
- CR (Control Room). In this mode, soloed signals are sent directly to the
monitor output bus, temporarily disabling any other signals that are routed
to that output. When solo is disengaged, any existing routings to the
monitor outs are re-enabled.
6. Cue Mix Level Control. Adjusts the Overall Level of the Solo Bus. Touch this
knob to adjust the overall level for the Solo bus with Master Control encoder.
When mixing live, or when recording multiple musicians at once, it is often necessary
to quickly listen to just one instrument or group. The Solo and Monitor buses can be
used together for this purpose. It is important to note that if you wish to monitor with
speakers, rather than with headphones, it is necessary to connect the speakers to the
Monitor Outs, rather than to the Main Outputs.
To use the Solo bus for monitoring purposes, do the following:
1. Press the Edit button in the Solo section to bring up the Solo screen.
Enable the Pre-Fader Listen option if you want to hear the soloed channels
2.
pre-fader (unaffected by fader level). Disable it if you want channel levels to
be affected by fader levels.
3. Touch Latch in the Solo Mode section of the touchscreen to enable the
Latch solo mode. This lets you solo multiple channels at the same time,
which is usually desired, in this case.
4. Press the Edit button in the Monitors section to bring up the Monitor
screen.
5. Press Monitors if you want to listen on your booth or control room
speakers. Press Phones if you want to listen on headphones. This brings up a
list of available sources to route to the chosen monitoring system.
6. Touch Solo on the touchscreen to route the Solo bus to the monitor system
you've chosen.
