The advantages of the Module Name List become obvious as you begin entering the
names for the VCA Master faders in the title DataBase view, for example: Channel 1
has been named Santa Claus and this name is then entered as the first title for DC
master #3. This is shown in the tool-tip appearing in the Frame view.
The channel name can now be entered as a DC Master Title using the menu system
in
FIG 7-7. Entering a channel name as Title for DC Master 3 .
When you have entered the DC master Title, channel 1 will automatically be
assigned to VCA Master 3. Of course, the ripple-through effect applied to the Master
Titles means that the VCA assignment will also ripple through in the Faders.
Clearing the DC Masters Title, using the menu CLEAR feature, will set the channel
VCA assignment to zero. It is worthwhile keeping in mind that there are User func-
tions that will apply or remove the Mute, when setting the VCA to, or, away from zero;
hence it should be clear how this feature can be a time-saver when building the Cue
structure for a show. Once the Module Names List has been set up, assigning VCA
settings to channels is just a matter of selecting a name from the list available in the
Master Title DataBase View.
NOTE: This feature only works when the text is entered and removed from the Mas-
ter Title cells, using the menu features. If you simply type the name in, or delete
using the backspace key; SAM won’t be able to maintain the link between the mod-
ule Name and the VCA assignments. Consequently, any changes to the Real Text
names will revert them to Manual Text and they must be re-inserted from the Menu
List to get back the Auto assignment.
