Input channel ID (GUI only)

You can change the channel name in the GUI
strip. This can be done in the input channel
overview or in any of the processing areas.
To change the background colour of the input
channel name field (green in the example shown), open the Input Channels Sheet
screen of the GUI menu.
On the control surface, channel ID is displayed on the LCD select button (see "LCD
select button" on page 308).
>> To change the channel name in the GUI channel strip
Click within the channel name field and type in the new channel name (see "Text
editing" on page 57).

Input channel source select (GUI only)

The channel's source is shown in the text field;
if none has been selected, it will contain the
text "Unassigned" (as shown right). You can
select the source for this channel by clicking
source, which opens the Patching screen (see Chapter 8 "Patching" on page 71).
Also, by clicking the recorder button
(for example, for a virtual soundcheck).

Input channel delay (GUI only)

The input channel delay can only be changed via the delay section of
the configuration processing area (GUI channel strip). This section
has a control knob for adjusting the delay in the range 0ms to 50ms;
this value is displayed in both milliseconds (ms) and metres (m).
You can fine tune the delay value using the spin buttons to the left of
the control knob.
The delay section lets you incorporate a time delay on an input
channel, which is used mainly for mic placements and time aligning
to reduce comb filtering. For example, on a drum kit mic set up, you
may have a mic close to a snare drum and a couple of overhead mics. In this case,
setting an input channel delay on the snare drum — to bring it more in line with the
overheads — will probably produce a better sound.

Stereo linking (GUI only)

The linking/gain swap section of the
configuration processing has a LINK switch for
linking the selected input channel to the adjacent
input channel on the right. The LINK OPT.
button opens a Stereo Linking Options window
from where you can choose which parameters
you want to link.
For more information, see Chapter 10 "Stereo
Linking" on page 127.
