Re: @Kyle: S3 Talkback
Just read the updated S3 PDF readme and it explains how to set it up. It's very easy.

Re: S3 Talkback
I'm trying to setup the Talkback function and I am wondering...
So far it only works if I go thru MAIN or ALT. I have to press "CUT" everytime I power on the S3 to make the talkback work. The correct way would be like descibed in the manual. Assigning a Direct Out... without going thru MAIN or ALT... I would like to use AVB for Talkback as well, so I could carry my S3 into another room to record and talk to the talent via the S3. Unfortunately the AVB inputs are pre-talkback Maybe AVID could update the manual with a signal flow diagram? Then it's easier to figure out what's possible and what isn't.

Will you explain your desired setup and routing for "I would like to use AVB for Talkback as well, so I could carry my S3 into another room to record and talk to the talent via the S3"? A bit more detail on the workflow you are not able to achieve currently would be helpful. Suggestion on signal flow diagram is noted.

Re: S3 Talkback
My workflow to record someone in my control room would be to take the S3 next door where I only have an ethernet AVB connection to my Mac. The talkback would be routed into CoreAudio and could go from there via the built in output to the headphones.
Needs a bit tweaking but I don't need any audio cables between the rooms... As it works now, if I use mic input 1 as talkback, CoreAudio gets the mic signal non stop. Quote:
All MIO and RME interfaces have a talkback output setting that stays after rebooting... it's a minor thing, but in my mind I already hear the phone ringing and people asking why the talkback doesn't work...

When you say "If someone routes his talkback to the Main or Alternative monitor he has a big problem". Does "big problem" mean the need to uncut the output?

(or go via ReWire, or AVID makes a nice AAX plugin...) Quote:
Once you press "Mix to Mons" you will get a feedback loop and might destroy your speakers and/or ears... In my opinion, the preference should be Talkback on Output x = No assignment to a MAIN or ALT speaker output and no cut or level adjustment applied. Like most Direct Outs on real mixing consoles

Example Setup (see attached too) Hardware Connections: S3 Outputs 1-2 --> Main monitors (Control Room) S3 Outputs 3-4 --> Headphone Amp>Headphones (Talent) Monitor Source --> S3 Inputs 3-4 Talkback Mic --> S3 Input 1 Talent Mic --> S3 Input 2 S3 Settings: In 1 Direct Out --> Out 3-4, Talkback On, 40dB In 2 Direct Out --> Out 3-4, Talkback Off, 40dB Save/TB Settings -->TB Engage = Mix to Mon Mon Prefs ---> In 3-4, Mon to HP on, Dim = -15dB MAIN --> Select on*, Cut off, -30dB ALT --> Select on*, Cut off, -40dB *Hold Shift/Multiselect button in bottom left of S3 and press Sel switch to multiselect both MAIN and ALT outputs. Pressing Mix to Mon switch will dim your source. So, even if you had talkback and monitor source both feeding MAIN Out 1-2 (like in your example) there shouldn't be a feedback problem unless you have your dim level set to 0dB (no dim). Does that make sense? Let me know if I missed something.
