Hi Development Team, hi community,
I would like to have a “Pre Trim Direct Out” Source Option.
This could make the patch process in Mon & FoH & Recording setups e.g via Dante easier, especially if DX extenders are in play.
Idea: The patch of all input sockets to the channel is done on the “main” console, this “layout” could be 1:1 patched using “pre trim” direct outs for example to a Dante card. When ever the main console repatches an input from a Local Socket to a DX Extender, it automatically is also available to the 2nd console as well, this would work perfectly in festival situations. Each console still have its trim to adjust levels.
So far I used tielines to realize this feature to route my signals between gain and trim. Unfortunately, you always have to think about the DX Extender when repatching.
Is this the only way? Or is there an alternativ approach?
kind regards
Tobi
I certainly wouldn’t complain, but I think a way to tell the system “whatever source is being sent to this destination should automatically also be sent to these other destinations as well” would be a better solution.
Can’t you use the VSC Record Send feature for that? 
This is basically the idea behind this thread..just an additional pick point in the Direct Out Section. What ever is patched to the Processing channel is redirected to Dante or Waves Card, but before the trim. Hope that makes sense.
Nice idea, as workaround. It would follow this idea. Can I double patch it to Dante and waves? Typically i use my Waves card for VSC + Waves processing in the surface and Dante (mixrack) for Audio Distribution to other consoles. But I would loose full control over VSC isnt it?
Afaik, the VSC record send ist only patchable to a single IO.
I don’t think so, but I’ll check when I’m in front of the system next week.
