Default Can the S3 Talkback be improved in 3.6

Welcome to the Forum Eddie,

good to hear that something is happening in the S3 Universe...
In the advent of a Eucon update I want to ask for a very little feature.

Right now, I'm using the internal audio of the S3 for Talkback. Everytime I turn on the S3 I have to unmute the main out. That is not ideal.

Can we have a preference setting fot that?

Thanks!

I think for most having it start up muted is desired and a safety feature.

That's why I think there should be a preference setting...

If you use Talkback, the assigned Outputs can't be used for Monitoring.

Another solution would be to give the option to send the TB Input via AVB to Core Audio.

My guess is that most S3 users don't use the monitoring section anyway. Like on the ProControl. But the ProControl had a seperate TB output...

I just checked the manual. It doesn't say anything about setting up Talkback.
What's the intended workflow?

Hi made,
I notice you are using the Fireface UCX. Why don't you use the talkback feature in Totalmix. Although, there is no specific remote for the UCX, I'm sure you could assign it to a key command.
I currently use Totalmix with the UFX and I've modified my ARC Remote to have a foot switch for the 'A' which isa signed to talkback.

I too don't use the monitoring section of the S3.

Hi mattrixx,

thanks for your input.
My UCX is my mobile setup. So no permanent solution...
I want to keep my control room as simple as possible, so I don't get calls when I rent it out...

You might consider automatic talkback I got so tired of "producers" that couldn't grasp the concept of "push this to talk, or the talent won't hear you" so I automated the whole thing. I have a mic on my desk, one on the ceiling in the drum room and a 3rd on the wall in the tracking room(Crown PCC-160's) and all 3 come in on 3 mono AUX tracks. On the AUX tracks, I insert an EQ(high-pass)>Compressor>Mute-o-matic(freebie from Sound Radix). All feed all headphone mixes and the main out(except CR track is set for no output). When playback is stopped, everyone can converse. As soon as transport starts, all mics are muted

there are tons of possible improvements for the S3.
Auto Talkback and two mic inputs for Talkback would be good as well...

I just don't want to sound greedy...

Here's a lot more....
