A note on “relative knob changes”
Lets say you have grouped three tracks where all
tracks have dierent Output Volumes, -10, 0 and
+10 dB.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
Volume -10 dB 0 dB +10 dB
If you select that group and increase the Output
Volume with 10 dB, all tracks should get 10 dB
louder. Except for Track 3, which will max out at
+18 dB after an 8 dB increase.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
Volume 0 dB +10 dB +18 dB
Keep on increasing the Output Volume until all
tracks hit +18 dB.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
Volume +18 dB +18 dB +18 dB
Ok, that wasn’t my plan, what happens now? Do I
need to use the History function on each track to
get back to my original setting? Nope. Just decrease
the volume again. Console 1 remembers the relative
changes. Let’s just decrease the Output Volume on
that group again, and we will get back to where we
started.
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
Volume +7 dB +17 dB +18 dB
...decrease another 17 dB:
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3
Volume -10 dB 0 dB +10 dB
The relative knob changes only work while you are in
Group/All mode.
grouping. Release the buttons, and perform the
adjustments you would like. Press Group again, or
select another track, to dissolve the group.
Please note that selecting all or creating a group works
similarly to a VCA group on a traditional mixer. This means
that a Console1 track group is not a bus to which all the
tracks are routed and summed together into a single
stereo channel. It is merely a function to simultaneously
adjust parameters of several individual tracks at once.
When selecting All or creating a Group, changes
made to Input Gain, Output Volume, Drive,
Drive Character, High Cut, Low Cut and Pan/
Balance will be performed relative to each channel’s
setting. So if you for example select all and turn
down the Output Volume, the relative level balance
between the tracks will be intact, they will all just be
turned down in volume.
Conversely, when making changes to any other pa-
rameter, this will result in all the tracks getting the
same setting as the currently selected one.
Duplicate tracks by pressing both All
and Group at the same time.
Only knobs in the Input and Output sections changes
relatively to eachother in Group/All mode!
