TIP: The information in this section makes sense only after absorbing the basics of working with the
Room Combine Processor block. If you have not reviewed What are the basics of working with this
block? (located above), you should do so before continuing.
A key concept that helps answer each of these questions—and a concept that we have mentioned and will
continue to mention again and again—is that you think about and configure each room as a separate and
unique entity. This concept becomes clearer as you work with the various Room Processors. We'll begin with
control linking.
Control Linking in a Room Combine
The linkable controls available to you within a Room Combine Room Processor include the following:
l
Input and Output Mute controls in the Auto Mixer and
l
Input Gain controls in the Mixer
l
Output Gain controls in the Auto Mixer and
l
Priority control in the Auto Mixer
l
Selector control (for selecting input)
l
Gain control (for controlling input volume)
l
Page Gain control (for controlling page volume)
Let's take a look at how control linking works in a room combine situation—and what better way to
illustrate than to use an example. We'll continue to work with the room arrangement introduced in the
above section:
Focusing only on control linking, let's set up some remote volume controls for Room A, Room B, and
Room A+B. You do so in one of two ways:
l
Create a link between the Level control exposed on the room processor block and a remote
device (we'll use a DR1), as shown in the following image:
