SURROUND MIXING
Before the new project is created you will be given the opportunity to choose whether you would
like to copy the mixer settings from the current project or reset the mixer to the factory defaults.
NOTE: Copying the mixer settings from the current project will carry over all mixer control posi-
tions, automation and scenes from the current project. The new controls for surround panning will be
set to their default values. If you select the RESET MIXER option all automation and scene data will
be cleared and all mixer controls will be reset to their defaults.
The new surround project will be created as a copy of your original stereo project and will be
automatically loaded. This operation does not modify your original stereo project.
Once this process is complete you will be returned to the MIXER MODE screen.
The mixer mode is now shown as 5.1 Surround and the graphics illustrate the monitor layout
for the 5.1 surround format. The list to the right shows which DPS24 outputs are used for
each of the surround monitor signals.
NOTE: The routing of surround monitor signals to DPS24 outputs is fixed.
This routing is also reflected in the PATCH page.
Once you have created your new surround project you can freely move between the surround
formats by adjusting the Pan Mode Q-link knob [Q1] in the MIXER MODE page.
The MIXER MODE page will change to reflect the selected surround format: 5.1, LCRS or 2+2:
