What are Device labels?

4-26 GC Operation
This may look as follows:
Note
In the Strip Setup window it is possible to display either the session labels
(standard) or the device labels, depending on the option selected in the lower
right corner of the window.
All labels shown in the general patch and within the channel strips are always
saved together with all audio settings within snapshots and presets. Some of
the labels you will name in the patch will most likely represent your studio
environment and where your equipment is connected to the console. E.g. you
might possibly want to label the AES/EBU input 30 as 'Tascam 11', in order to
recognize that you have connected your recorder that way. Since these labels
are contained within each snapshot or preset, it is theoretically also possible
to change the labels just by recalling a snapshot. In some cases this may be
very useful (e.g. if you have entered a track sheet, but would like to use a
different one for your next song), but in some cases this can be a handicap:
E.g. you change your studio wiring slightly, e.g. add new equipment, but still
want to use some of your older project settings. This would lead to the fact
that you would have to update all the old snapshots and presets. The same
handicap applies if you start with a new title. You will most likely want to see
your equipment names appear in the patch automatically. This is where the
device label functionality comes up. We have one file holding your device
labels (such as 'Tascam 11' for the AES/EBU input 30), and the system is able
to automatically read these labels from that file and apply it to your current
General Patch screen.
