Recording submasters
You can create submasters in Live or Blind mode. Follow these steps to
record a simple, pile-on submaster:
Note: Use Solo to record specific channels into the submaster (rather than
the full stage look). For example: [5] [Thru] [1][0] [Solo] [Record] [Sub] [5]
[Enter] records only the current levels of channels 5 through 10 in submas-
ter 5, regardless of what other channel levels may be up on stage.
Fade and dwell times for submasters
Normally, pressing a sub bump brings channel levels to their recorded
level immediately. If you prefer, you can record submasters with fades.
Insight 2x provides a submaster upfade time, downfade time and dwell
time.
Upfade time is the length of time it takes a submaster’s channels to fade
to their recorded levels when the submaster bump button is pressed.
Dwell time is the length of time the submaster’s channel levels stay at
their full recorded levels before the downfade starts.
Downfade time is the length of time it takes a submaster’s channels to
fade from their recorded levels to zero.
When you record fade times for a submaster, you can play the recorded
fade with the bump button or override it manually with the slider. See Con-
trolling submaster fades manually on page 139 for more information.
Note: Default fade time is 0/Man/0, meaning the submaster has a zero
upfade, a manually controlled dwell time, and a zero downfade. Channels
stay at full recorded levels as long as the bump button is held.
Fade times may be expressed in minutes and seconds, or as fractions of
seconds (in decimal format). Fade times can be programmed from .1
second to 99:59 minutes. Acceptable time values include: .2 (.2 seconds),
00:12 (12 seconds), 5.5 (5.5 seconds), or 5:30 (five minutes, 30 seconds).
