Hidden" Functions - Tascam FW-1884 Owner's Manual

4 – Control Surface Modes and Operation
In Solo-in-Place, the Mute status of any soloed input
can be toggled. Pressing the MUTE key of an unso-
loed input has no effect.
If you change banks, the flashing CLR SOLO key is a
reminder that a Solo is still active.
If you change Control Surface modes while an input
Solo is active, the MON MIX key flashes unless the
monitor source is set to COMPUTER output only.
NOTE
In MON MIX mode, SOLOs and MUTEs are activated by
key-down actions. They are deactivated by key-up
actions. This acts like the keys of an analog mixer,
allowing sets of keys to be unSOLOed or unMUTEd by
holding them down, then releasing them all at once.
PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) – in this mode, channels placed
in Solo mode are monitored from a point before the
fader, irrespective of their level and position in the
overall mix. Since PFL mode routes the soloed chan-
nel(s) to a separate solo buss, changes made to soloed
inputs do not affect the overall mix. PFL mode is often
used for setting input gain levels when tracking.

The level of channels soloed in PFL mode is controlled
by the SOLO knob directly above the PFL key.
The stereo meters reflect the input level of channels
that are PFL soloed.
Solo-in-Place (default) – in this mode, channels placed
in Solo mode are heard in the context of their relation-
ship to the entire mix; that is, level and pan settings are
retained. Since Solo-in-place mode functions by mut-
ing all non-soloed tracks, changes made in this mode
will affect the overall mix.
It is important to note that the PFL function only
affects inputs in MON MIX mode. Soloing of DAW
tracks in COMPUTER control mode is handled
entirely by the host application software, and is inde-
pendent of the FW-1884's SOLO buss.
