Deva 5.8 and Deva 16 Owner's Manual

Disk Mix Menu

The DISK CHANNEL MIX matrix routes the 16 inputs, the Slate Mic and the Reference Tone to the 10

recording tracks.

This matrix provides a great amount of flexibility for recording.

Figure 7 Disk Channel Mix Screen

In the disk channel mix screen, the top line shows all your Input Channels plus the slate mic and the refer-

ence tone generator. The vertical line on the right shows your 10 available recording tracks. The bottom

row of buttons control the parameters of the matrix selections.

Figure 7 shows Deva set up to record 8 Digital inputs (for example, from a Cameo or other Digital Board)

to tracks 1 through 8 on the Deva and an Analog mix from the mixer, routed through analog inputs 1 and 2

to tracks 9 and 10 on the Deva. The SLATE MIC and the TONE generator are enabled for all 10 tracks.

To select either Analog or Digital inputs use the TOGGLE button. Selecting a box once enables it, selecting

it again disables it.

The PRE-FADER button allows you to choose whether each selection is Pre or Post fader. For example,

you can record the microphone on one channel of the Deva post fader and on another pre-fader, so it is

unaffected by the mix.

o Pre-Fader: A or D appear in white on the matrix screen.

o Post-Fader: A or D appear in black on the matrix screen.

The PRESET button allows you to save and recall up to five saved settings. Saving is performed automati-

cally by simply pressing the preset button. This moves to the next preset. Any changes performed with the

matrix are "saved" to that preset.
