4.6.2 Quick Scenes, Mute Groups, and Scene Library

Quick Scenes
Clicking or tapping on the Scenes/Mutes button will open the mute groups and
Scene management for UC Surface. From here your can create and enable mute
groups and Quick Scenes and access the scene library.
Mute groups. A mute group allows you to mute and unmute multiple channels and
buses with the press of a single button. With the eight mute groups in UC Surface,
you could, for example, assign the drum mics to Mute Group 1, the instrumentalists
to Mute Group 2, the background vocalists to Mute Group 3, all the aux buses to
Mute Group 4, all four FX buses to Mute Group 5, and every channel on the mixer to
Mute Group 6, and so on. In this way, you can quickly mute multiple channels at once.
UC surface provides the following mute group controls:
• All On. Mutes all channels and buses. The All On group is a preconfigured
mute group that includes every channel and bus with a Mute button.
• All Off. Clears all mutes. When the All Off button is pressed, any
channel or bus that has been muted will be unmuted.
• Mute Group 1-8. Engages/disengages assigned mute groups.
When any of the Mute Group buttons is pressed, the assigned
group of channels or buses will be muted/unmuted.
• Store. To create a mute group, click or tap the Store button.
All the Mute Group buttons will flash. Click on the mute group
to which you'd like to store the current mute settings.
Power User Tip: Both the mute groups and All On only add mutes to your mix and
remove the same mutes they added. Mute groups will not clear mutes that were active
prior to the mute group being engaged. (i.e., if a mute is engaged when its mute group
or All On are enabled, it will still be engaged when you disable the mute group or the All
On.) The exception to this rule is the All Off button. This button will clear any mute that
is currently enabled and will deactivate any mute group that is active, including All On.
The Quick Scene buttons in the Fat Channel allow you to create a scene
without storing it to permanent memory and giving it a name. This is especially
useful when mixing multiple bands that you might not ever mix again.
UC Surface provide the following Quick Scene controls:
• Store. To create a Quick Scene, click or tap the Store button.
All the Quick Scene buttons will flash. Click on the Quick Scene
to which you'd like to store the current mixer settings.
