Basic Adjustment Of The Mixer; Crossfading Between The Decks - Omnitronic TMC-2 MK2 User Manual

7.4 Basic adjustment of the mixer

1
For basic adjustment set the master controls [MASTER CONTROL] and [MASTER LEVEL], the
[crossfader] and in both channels the [GAIN] controls and the [equalizers] to mid-position.
2
Advance the two [channel faders] approx. to 2/3 of the maximum for sufficient way for fading in and
out.
3
Play a title with Deck A and control the deck with the respective [GAIN] control according to the level
indication. An optimum level control is obtained if level values in the 0 dB range are shown at average
volume. If the red LEDs of the [output meter] light up, there is an overload of the channel. Stop the
playback on Deck A and adjust Deck B in the same way.
4
Adjust the desired sound with the tone controls of the channel. By adjusting the three tone controls, the
high frequencies (control [HIGH]), the midrange frequencies (control [MID]), and the low frequencies
(control [LOW]) can be boosted or substantially attenuated. With the controls in mid-position, the
frequency response is not affected. Sound adjustments affect the level. Readjust the channel level with
the [GAIN] control, if necessary.
5
Adjust the low frequencies for the output signal at the balanced master output with the control [BASS
LEVEL].
6
Adjust the definite level of the output signal at the master outputs with the controls [MASTER
CONTROL] and [MASTER LEVEL].
7
Adjust the desired signal level for the output [BOOTH] with the control [BOOTH VOLUME].
8
The recording signal at the recording output [REC] is taken off ahead of the output controls, i.e. it is not
affected by the controls [MASTER CONTROL], [MASTER LEVEL] and [BOOTH VOLUME].

7.5 Crossfading between the decks

1
The [CROSSFADER] allows crossfading between both decks:
• crossfader moved to the left: fade-in of Deck A and fade-out of Deck B
• crossfader moved to the right: fade-in of Deck B and fade-out of Deck A
• for hearing the signals of the two decks at the same level, set the crossfader to mid-position
2
The characteristic of the crossfader can be adjusted with the control [X-FADER CURVE]:
• left position: smooth crossfading (gradual transition ) e.g. for long mixes
• right position: sharp crossfading (abrupt transition) e.g. for scratching and cutting.
Note
Do not use the control [X-FADER CURVE] while a signal is present as this may cause a sudden
•
change in volume.
