Unity Gain Monitor Path using FADS 0dB Push-Button
The Main Output Bus is used in the monitor path via the Channel Faders
which may be freely adjusted. In order to lock Channel Faders for Stem
Master Channels at unity gain:

off (refer to 6-3-2 for details of {FADS 0dB} operation).

Press {ACCESS} at the bottom of the fader for each of the Stem
Masters. Their faders will move to the 0dB point and will spring back
to unity, if moved and released. {ACCESS} buttons will light amber.

Press the {FADS 0dB} to resume normal operations and faders will
spring back.
Note
When used this way the {FADS 0dB} function will not be affected by the loading of
Snapshots, in that the 0dB locked fader settings cannot be overwritten.

overwritten with Snapshots, the procedure is modified slightly:

0dB, they will not spring back to the unity gain setting automatically.

faders will not spring back if moved.
