Monitoring improvements needed !
Hi fellows,
I’m working with the S6 on a dub stage (versioning pgm) and I’ve got a big issue regarding the monitoring section on the touch screen panel. I have (constantly) to A/B monitor the domestic content and the local version of all my projects. The main source of the monitoring section feeds the monitors with the local version (MnE and dubbed dialogue) and the surround source is the original version. Here is my problems : 1st of all: I have to click on “main” to unselect the source, then, on “surround” to listen the domestic content . Why can’t I just touch on one of my source to listen to it, like the X-OR solo mode style, and like the D controls allowed us ! 2nd : Actually, I have no other choice to use the touchscreen panel ONLY to A/B monitor my source, but we do this 1000 times per mix. Is it possible to assign the source of the monitoring on any encoders or switch to the surface (like it was on the D-control…). This would allows me to enjoy all the functionnalities of the touchscreen panel and to A/B monitor my different version. Thx for your help ! |

Re: Monitoring improvements needed !
I had the same A/B short fall when recreating old mixes in stems form.
I now have my two sources appearing on Aux channels in PT. now I just use the channel mutes. But I concur. I think the little dome buttons below the mtm screen should be usable.

Re: Monitoring improvements needed !
Don't want to create aux, just wanna feed m'y monitors with différent sources with one click and meanwhile use touch screen panel features.
Any idea? |

Re: Monitoring improvements needed !
Step 1 - Avid needs to ditch the XMon.

Re: Monitoring improvements needed !
This is not a XMON issue but an S6 monitoring limitation. There are 2 stories on our back log that would fix this. Euconize the sources switches so they can be used as softkeys. Plus allow different DAW/Apps Softkeys in Softkey Appsets. I can't give the exact dates though but hopefully in a couple releases time.

Re: Monitoring improvements needed !
You should look into replacing the Xmon with one of the two I/O boxes from DAD. If I understand it correctly, the S6 can control it so you can switch between multiple ins and outs. It sounds like it would fit the workflow you described.

Re: Monitoring improvements needed !
Essentially the aforementioned x or behaviour on the source select would solve our A/B ing needs.
