5 − Mixer Effect send There is one stereo "loop" send (using the internal effects) in addition two effect sends (using the external EFFECT SENDS jacks) for each channel. Please see "Single effect" on page 42 for details about the use of the internal single effect. Press the channel's SELECT key, followed by the SEND key (this order can be reversed). For each effect send, there is a soft switch at the left side of the screen. Use the dial to set this switch either OFF or POST (post-fader) or PRE (pre-fader). TIP "Pre-fader" means that the channel fader does not affect the level of the effect send, as opposed to "post-fader" where the effect send level is affected by the channel fader setting. Set the level of each channel send (LVL) from 0 to 127. This screen also allows the master send level (MSTR) to be set (again from 0 to 127). Fader/pan Press the FADER/PAN key to display the FADER/PAN screen for the current channel. To change the channel, press the INPUT key or SELECT key of the channel to change to. PHASE PAN Use this screen to make pan, phase and fader setting for four channels at a time on this screen (linked channels still count as two channels here). ªª Phase Use this to correct miswired microphones, etc. Out-ofphase sources can result in unnatural EQ and a "hole in the middle" stereo effect. The phase symbol (Ø) shows the current status of the channel: either normal (N) or reversed (R). Use the cursor keys and dial to change these settings. ªª Pan Use PAN parameters to set the stereo position. In the track channels, this parameter sets the pan positions of the signals sent to the stereo bus. In the input channels, it sets the pan positions of signals sent to the sub mix bus. Full left ("hard left") is represented by L63, and hard right by R63. The center position, where the signal is sent equally to the left and right is represented by C. 32 TASCAM 2488neo TIP With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the PAN key to reset the highlighted channel's pan position to the center. In the case of linked channels, the pan position both of the highlighted channel and the channel to which it is linked will be centered. ªª Faders The on-screen track channel faders are for display only. The input channel faders adjust the levels of the signals sent to the sub mix bus. Select then with the cursor and use the JOG/DATA dial to set them. The minimum fader value as shown on screen is 0 (full cut), and the full level is 127. A level of 100 corresponds to the "unity gain" position of 0 dB. In the initial preference settings, the positions of the physical faders on the top panel and the actual fader levels (internal fader values) always correspond, but different fader matching settings may cause the positions and actual values to differ. In this case, the Ó next to the fader icon on screen shows the internal fader position (when the internal fader and physical fader values are equal, no Ó appears). See "Scene recall" on page 37 and "Fader matching" on page 37 for details.

5 − Mixer

There is one stereo “loop” send (using the internal

effects) in addition two effect sends (using the external

EFFECT SENDS

jacks) for each channel. Please see

“Single effect” on page 42 for details about the use of the

internal single effect.

Press the channel’s

SELECT

key, followed by the

SEND

key (this order can be reversed).

For each effect send, there is a soft switch at the left side

of the screen. Use the dial to set this switch either OFF or

POST (post-fader) or PRE (pre-fader).

TIP

“Pre-fader” means that the channel fader does not

affect the level of the effect send, as opposed to

“post-fader” where the effect send level is affected

by the channel fader setting.

Set the level of each channel send (

LVL

) from 0 to 127. This

screen also allows the master send level (

MSTR

) to be set

(again from 0 to 127).

Effect send

Press the

FADER/PAN

key to display the FADER/PAN

screen for the current channel. To change the channel,

press the

INPUT

key or

SELECT

key of the channel to

change to.

PHASE

PAN

Use this screen to make pan, phase and fader setting for

four channels at a time on this screen (linked channels still

count as two channels here).

Phase

Use this to correct miswired microphones, etc. Out-of-

phase sources can result in unnatural EQ and a “hole in

the middle” stereo effect. The phase symbol (

) shows the

current status of the channel: either normal (N) or reversed

(R). Use the cursor keys and dial to change these settings.

Pan

Use PAN parameters to set the stereo position.

In the track channels, this parameter sets the pan positions

of the signals sent to the stereo bus. In the input channels,

it sets the pan positions of signals sent to the sub mix bus.

Full left (“hard left”) is represented by L63, and hard right

by R63. The center position, where the signal is sent equal-

ly to the left and right is represented by C.

TIP

With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the PAN key to reset

the highlighted channel’s pan position to the center.

In the case of linked channels, the pan position both

of the highlighted channel and the channel to which it

is linked will be centered.

Faders

The on-screen track channel faders are for display only.

The input channel faders adjust the levels of the signals

sent to the sub mix bus. Select then with the cursor and use

the

JOG/DATA

dial to set them.

The minimum fader value as shown on screen is 0 (full

cut), and the full level is 127. A level of 100 corresponds to

the “unity gain” position of 0 dB.

In the initial preference settings, the positions of the physi-

cal faders on the top panel and the actual fader levels

(internal fader values) always correspond, but different

fader matching settings may cause the positions and actual

values to differ.

In this case, the

next to the fader icon on screen shows

the internal fader position (when the internal fader and

physical fader values are equal, no

appears).

See

“

Scene recall

”

on page 37 and

“

Fader matching

”

page 37 for details.
