This is the typical way the users will work on a Vista console, but it can be
applied to the D950 as well.
You type all your labels in the patch and let the system propagate them
automatically to the connected channels. If you change any patch point, the
channel labels will be updated automatically. Also, if you have one source
connected to multiple channels, all of them will have the same labels. In
this way, you will type your "track sheet" (e.g. "Violin") within the Gen-
eral Patch window, and you will never edit any label within the Channel
Patch itself.
• Switch on the "Overwrite Channel User Labels with Device Labels"
option in the SysAdmin/Device Labels menu.
• Switch on the "User Device Labels" option in the SysAdmin/Device
Labels menu.
• There must be a file "
your device labels (technical labels), e.g. "Studio 1", "Mic 1").
• Type your track sheet into the USER LABEL field of the General
Patch.
• Switch to "Show Inherited Labels" mode.
You will now see your session labels (e.g. "Violin") within the channel
strips, while the patch is showing you where it is coming from (e.g. "Mic
1"). On the CAS you will see all this information at the same time.
The philosophy on Vista consoles concerning labeling is not to name any
labels within channels, but to name patch sources in the General Patch,
letting the system propagate them to the connected channels. Specifically,
we are talking about two kinds of labels which will be propagated in this
way: Device labels (technical labels), and User labels (session labels, e.g.
track sheet). This also supports the workflow, whereby the operator first
names his sources and then patches them to any possible channel.
Advantages: If a source is connected to more than one channel, or if a
patch is changed, the labels are correctly updated on the actually patched
channels. You see what you hear!
