10 - Monitoring-Dimming and talkback Depending on the solo type selected, the SOLO key (above the STEREO fader) and the MUTE key of any soloed channel(s) will flash or light: Inplace solo defeat The solo defeat option prevents channels selected in this way from being muted when other channels are soloed. It can be used with a pair of effect returns, for instance, so that these effect returns will always be added in the inplace mix, together with those other channels selected for inplace soloing. SOLO level The level of the PFL and AFL signals is determined by the SOLO control above the monitor selection keys. The indicator by this control lights or flashes Turning soloing on and off The SOLO key with integral red indicator above the STEREO fader is used to turn the solo mode (as selected in the option screen) on and off. When soloing is active;, this indicator lights or flashes (as does the indicator above the SOLO level control). All previously-lit MUTE indicators go out. The MUTE keys are used to control which channels are soloed. Pressing the MUTE key of a channel will un-mute it, therefore soloing it. The MUTE indicator of a soloed channel lights or flashes. If Mix Solo is selected as the solo mode (see "MODE SELECT" on page 75, pressing another MUTE key will add that channel to the solo mix. If solo linking is switched on, and the channel is a group master, all Dimming and talkback On the same screen as the control room selection, it is possible to change the amount by which the control room outputs are "dimmed" (attenuated) when the dim is active or the studio-routed talkback is active. Use POD 2 to set the level to the level that the dimmed output will be, relative to the normal control room level. This can be set from -40dB to 0dB in 1dB steps. When dimming the studio output, the DIMMER key acts as a "smart" key. That is, if pressed and released quickly, the dimming status latches on or off. Pressing and releasing the key quickly again changes the status back again. PFL AFL Inplace fast flashing slow flashing lit Inplace soloing will output the soloed channel(s) from the stereo outputs, and cut all other channels. Use the cursor keys (or the channel SEL key) to highlight a channel ("box" cursor), and the ENTER key to change the status of the INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT. (depending on the selected solo mode) when any soloing is taking place. channels which belong to that group will be soloed. More than one group may be soloed at a time in Mix Solo mode. If Exclusive Solo is selected as the solo mode, the channel whose MUTE key was pressed last will be soloed. If solo linking is turned on, and the channel is a group master, all channels which belong to that group are soloed. If another channel's MUTE key is pressed (whether or not the channel is part of the group or not), only that channel will be soloed. Only one group at a time may be soloed in Exclusive Solo mode. The type of soloing (pre-fader, etc.) is determined by the settings described in "SOLO TYPE" on page 75. If the key is pressed and held for more than half a scone, the switch becomes non-latching, that is, the dimming status is on as long as the key is held down. Whenever the dimming is active, the indicator is lit. The level of the talkback microphone (which is located below the PHONES control) can be adjusted using the T/B control. The talkback signal can be routed to the studio outputs (use the STUDIO key) or to a "slate" (use the SLATE key), that is, to a selected group of aux and buss outputs, as explained below. Both the STUDIO and SLATE keys are smart keys working in the same way as the DIMMER key. If 76 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
