TCP/IP

  • Serial (Calrec, Lawo, Studer, etc.): Serial port connected to the audio mixer, when Serial radio button is selected.

  • TCP/IP: Hostname or IP address and port to communicate with the audio mixer, when TCP/IP radio button is selected. Note that for Calrec it is possible to configure a main and backup audio mixer by specifying two comma separated hostname values and port values.

  • Hostname: Hostname or IP address of the audio mixer.

  • Port: Port on the audio mixer.

  • Local port: (Ardour only) The mixer will send messages to this port on the Mosart server. Use 8000 unless there is a good reason for choosing another port.

  • Backup hostname and port (LAWO RMNOPL): Hostname (or IP address) and port to the backup audio mixer console.

  • Set user labels on console: When selected, user labels on the (non-EMBER+) Lawo or Vista console are overwritten.

  • MidiCh (MIDIMIXER and YAMAHA_O2): MIDI channel assigned to the audio mixer. Depending on mixer model, this setting may have to correspond to settings on the mixer.

  • Midi Input port (MIDIMIXER and YAMAHA_O2): System MIDI input port to communicate with the audio mixer.

  • Midi Output port (MIDIMIXER and YAMAHA_O2): System MIDI output port to communicate with the audio mixer.

  • Default fade time: Time in frames for fading open faders with the manual fade function (CTRL+F).

  • Default snapshot: Snapshot to recall when starting the automation (MIDI parameter change).

  • Audio effect server: Name for the Audio effect fader. This fader will open if effect transitions are used.

  • Send reset command on connect: Used for STUDER3000 SW 2.2, or lower. Recalls a default setup for the Mixer panel.

  • Visible audio faders: Maximum visible faders in AV Automation.
