It’s great that Processing can now be “safe’d” separately in terms of Insert/EQ/Dynamics/etc. in V1.6, but it’s still a GLOBAL FILTER! We need individual processing safes.
What if we could have a soft key called “safe”, and like with the copy/paste features, you hold the “safe” soft key, and press the EQ in button for a channel, and that channel’s EQ only, is Safe from scene recalls?
You get the idea…
Hi,
This feature isn’t just on Global Filters- it’s on Recall Filters too so can be applied on a per-scene basis.
Hope this allows you to get the results you need.
Hi there,
Yes, but it’s Global in the sense that it’s for ALL CHANNELS, not specific channels. With Global/Individual I meant channels, not scenes. Sorry should have made that clear.
Perhaps it would be an option to introduce “Scene Safes” in addition to the global Safes? In this way, individual inputs/FX/mixes could be protected from changes per scene. This could significantly expand the possibilities without overloading the user interface.
We already have scene safes. On the scenes menu, there is a blue box that says “Recall Filter”, which is exactly that.
What I’m talking about, is a safe for a specific parameter (say EQ) on a specific channel only.
Example:
I’m mixing a line up of bands on Saturday, all using the same drum kit on stage. By Sound check number 3, I’ve really dialed in the EQ on the Toms quite nicely. Now if I recall the scene for band 1, TOM EQs’ will revert to where I saved them. (I don’t want to “safe” my tom channels on the Safes menu, because that will safe ALL the parameters, including their sends to different Auxes. I JUST want to safe their EQ’s, before recalling any other scene.
I understand your very practical suggestion and don’t want to diminish it in any way, but here’s a tip anyway:
You can also do this via the libraries by storing and recalling the processing of individual channels or components of them, such as just the EQ.
The disadvantage is perhaps that it takes a few more clicks.
But the big advantage is that it remains clearer and you can also save these meaningfully named entries on USB and thus even integrate them into other shows in the future.
No offense taken brother (or sister) lol, not sure…
The problem for me with the libraries is, like you said, takes too much time, and also, if I have changed the EQ again at a later stage, I would have to update my libraries every time, and recall them every time. (Ain’t nobody got time for that, during quick change overs).
That’s the main purpose of parameter safe on a channel-by-channel basis.
Holding down a “Safe” soft key, and hitting the “EQ in” button on my Toms for example, is less than 4 clicks. Even better if we could just hit the EQ window in the screen.
