Chapter 27: Changing The
User Settings
This chapter shows you how to change the user settings of the PRO X to suit your
own preferences and the current working environment.
The user settings are changed via the GUI menu, mainly from the tabs of the
Preferences screen (shown below) and the ‘Sheet’ screens.
>> To open the Preferences screen
At a GUI screen, choose home  Preferences  General.
Setting the meter preferences
The Metering section of the User tab of the Preferences screen provides
global parameter adjustment of all the meters on the control centre.
• Peak/Hold Time control knob, sets the time (in seconds) the peak LED
stays on for, in the range 0 (no peak hold) to innity (peak always on).
This only aects the meters on the GUI. Click the enable tick box below to
switch this on.
• Meter Attack control knob, adjusts the time it takes the meters to rise,
in the range 0 (no delay) to 10 milliseconds. Select the pre option to switch
the output channel meters to pre-fader.
• Meter Delay control knob, adjusts the meter delay time, in the range 0
to 0.5 seconds. For example, if the control centre is FOH, this function lets
you synchronise the meters with what you are hearing. This is because the
sound from the performers on the stage will take a certain amount of time
to reach you, whereas the meters pick up that sound at source. Click the
enable tick box below to switch on this function. You can adjust the meter
delay by using the spin buttons underneath, which display the delay time in
milliseconds (ms) and distance in metres (m).
• Meter Decay control knob, adjusts the time it takes the meters to fall, in the
range 10 to 25 milliseconds.
Conguring a virtual soundcheck
The Virtual Soundcheck Record section of the Preferences screen lets you
set the record and playback options for a virtual soundcheck.
• In the Record section:
• All Dir. Out Pre-processing — switches all the direct outputs to
pre-processing.
• Unmute all Dir. Out — unmutes all direct outputs.
• Mute all Dir. Out — mutes all direct outputs.
• Set All Dir. Out Gains to 0dB — sets all direct output gains to 0 dB.
• In the Playback section:
• Input Channel Source — lets you select the input channel source as
Normal or Tape Return.
• Enable all Tape Returns — enables all tape returns.
• Disable all Tape Returns — disables all tape returns.
