10 - Monitoring-Studio monitoring the playback from an analog mastering recorder connected to the DM-24. The setting of these keys may be changed using the MONITOR screen. With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the METER/ FADER [MONITOR] key to bring up this screen: 2-track input Because of the analog nature of the 2TR IN inputs, the following should be noted when monitoring from this source: • Dimming when monitoring this signal is fixed at a level of -30dB relative to normal and cannot be changed. • If the control room output is set to one of the DIGITAL OUTPUTS (1 or 2) as explained earlier Studio monitoring The studio monitoring can be selected to follow the control room monitoring selection or to be independent of the control room monitoring using the same screen as the control room setup (above). To make the studio outputs follow the control room sources: On the main monitoring page (soft key 2) move the cursor to the From CONTROL ROOM "radio button" and press ENTER. When this is selected, whatever is selected for the control room output will also be output from the studio monitoring outputs. Use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the three selection key icons (SEL 1, SEL 2 and SEL 3). Turn the dial to select from the available options: AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3, AUX 4, AUX 5, AUX 6, AUX1-2, AUX3-4, AUX5-6, buss 1, BUSS 2, BUSS 3, BUSS 4, BUSS 5, BUSS 6, BUSS 7, BUSS 8, BUSS 1-2, BUSS 3-4, BUSS 5-6, BUSS 7-8, DIGITAL IN 1, DIGITAL IN 2, 2-TR (ANALOG). Press ENTER to confirm the choice. NOTE It is possible to assign the same option to more than one of the monitor selection keys. The Follow LINK Setting also affects what is output from the control room outputs. If a mono source which has been stereo linked (that is, an individual aux or buss) is selected, and the checkbox here is checked, the source will be stereo linked to its "partner" in the monitoring. In this case, the odd-numbered aux or buss will be output from the left channel, and the even-numbered aux or buss from the right channel. ("Control room outputs" on page 73), it is not possible to monitor the 2-track source • In addition, even though the studio output is an analog output, if the control room monitoring system is set up to use a digital output, it is not possible to monitor the 2-track inputs through the studio system when echoing the control room outputs to the studio (see below, "Studio monitoring" on page 74). To set a different source for the studio, move the cursor to the output select "radio button" and press ENTER to select the monitoring source displayed to the right of the radio button. After this, move the cursor to the right and use the dial to select from the list: Stereo, Buss 1-2, Buss 3-4, Buss 5-6, Buss 7-8, Aux 1-2, Aux 3-4, Aux 5-6, Digital In 1, Digital In 2, 2TR(Analog). Press ENTER to confirm the selection. A pair of aux sends makes a good choice for the studio source, as these can be individually adjusted prefader, and a completely separate studio mix can be built up in this way. 74 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
