The highlight in the OLED display updates to show the newly
selected source.

To enable, disable or reset the EQ, press the EQ (Knob Set) button
to enter EQ control mode, and press CHAN, to turn Channel mode
off; the display should show the 60Hz level. Select an input (press
the SEL Y button beside a fader), and press the SEL button just
below the OLED to enable/disable EQ for this input; or press ON
(just beneath) to reset the EQ for this input.

22.7.14 COMPRESSOR/LIMITER

To access TriCaster’s Compressor/Limiter controls for the currently selected source,
simply hold down a Shift key on the control surface and press the

EQ

button again

(the label for the ‘shifted’ state of this button is

DYN).

Again, the labels above the little graphs in each control surface slot update to show
Compressor/Limiter settings – Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and also Mic Gain.
And naturally, the knobs beneath are delegated to control the corresponding
attribute for the currently selected source.

Hint: Mic Trim (not the same thing as Mic Gain) is only shown for sources set to a Mic
mode.

22.7.15 CHAN MODE

CHAN

is short for “Channel”. By default, this button is unlit, and Artist Mix operates

in ‘standard’ mode. Standard mode (

CHAN

off) is the default

operating mode for the

PAN

Knob Set mode that you will use for

most ‘non-configuration’ Audio Mixer activity. It imposes one-to-
one relationship between control groups and individual audio
sources – each group governs one source exclusively.

Pushing the

CHAN

button changes this relationship. In channel mode, all knobs and

faders are assigned to a single TriCaster audio source (or ‘channel’, from the Artist
Mix viewpoint). The

SEL

switch, introduced in 22.7.13, determines which source has

‘focus’, and the various adjustable settings for that source are expanded across the
entire control surface, with one Artist Mix ‘slot’ assigned to each.
