Afada Setup Guidelines - Solid State Logic AWS DELTA 916 Owner's Manual

AFADA S G
ETUP UIDELINES
When moving the faders, there is a good chance that you will be affecting the track output from the DAW and the channel
output within the AWS simultaneously, thus duplicating all of the level changes – an effect which is probably unwanted.
There are a number of potential solutions to this duplication:
1: U -
SE PRE FADE OUTPUTS
Route DAW tracks from pre-fader to the appropriate analogue outputs. In Pro Tools this can be done using a prefader
aux send and setting the aux gain to 0dB. In Logic route an aux send to a different bus on each channel then route the
aux sends to the appropriate analogue outputs. De-assign the track outputs to avoid summing pre and post fade signals.
Within the DAW, fader movements will now only affect the Master bus and any other post-fader sends.
This also allows the creation of post fade aux sends within both the AWS and the DAW, providing some interesting
creative options.
2: C
REATE ADDITIONAL
Create 24(16) blank DAW tracks, and bank to appear on console channels 1–24(16). If you have automation you wish to
re-use, copy it from the audio tracks and paste it to the blank tracks you have just created. You will then need to either
disable or delete the automation from the original tracks.
If the automation is deleted rather than disabled, micro-automation (such as the removal of undesirable transients) can
be performed on the original audio tracks within the DAW by temporarily disabling automation and scrolling to those
tracks.
3: U
SE A DEDICATED
Use two DAW layers, one for your audio and one for your automation. This will require you to have two DAWs running
on either the same or two separate computers, and to enable both DAW layers within the console screen's
> menu.
Setup
A variation on this is possible with Logic, which allows two (or more) controllers to be configured. This allows one layer
to be used as a normal DAW controller and the second to be locked to 24(16) dedicated automation tracks.
Micro-automation (such as the removal of undesirable transients) could be performed on the original audio tracks within
the DAW by entering DAW Focus mode and scrolling to those tracks.
