Soloing and toggle
Soloing is also an important part of the recording
process, allowing you to temporarily isolate problem
areas (channels or tracks) and listen to them with
your full attention.
The MUTE keys for each channel also act as SOLO
keys when the SOLO indicator is flashing (solo mode
is active).
The MUTE/SOLO keys of any soloed channels flash
while being soloed.
Muted channels cannot be soloed or unmuted while
solo mode is active.
The solo is an in-place solo—any changes to fader
levels, pan position, etc. made in solo mode are
reflected in the solo signal.
Sub mix
The 2488 sub mix facility allows you to add up to
eight more inputs (usually on mixdown) to the
twenty-four tracks already recorded. These could be
inputs from a multi-timbral MIDI device, synchro-
nized using MIDI clock information from the 2488
driving a sequencer.
The eight inputs from A through H are pressed into
service here and they feed a bus that can be routed to
the stereo bus (or to the recorder in bounce mix—see
“Making a bounce mix” on page 49).
1 Press and hold down the source INPUT key of
an input to be assigned to the sub mix and
press the
SUB MIX key (above the STEREO
fader) to assign the input to the sub mix.
2 Repeat this process for all inputs to be
assigned to the sub mix.
3 Finally, assign the sub mix itself to the stereo
bus. Press and hold the
SUB MIX key, and
press the STEREO key.
Press the SUB MIX key to bring up the appropriate
screen (if it’s not already displayed):
This shows the current assignment of inputs to the
sub mix, and the current assignment of the sub mix
output.
There is also a level control ( 0 to 127 , 100 is unity
gain). Use the wheel to set this level.
NOTE
You can also bounce recorded tracks (“Bouncing tracks”
on page 49). Because this uses the sub mixer, you can-
not use the sub mix as described here and perform track
bouncing at the same time.
Scene memories
The 2488 can store and recall up to 100 scene memo-
ries. Each memory stores all the digital parameters
for:
• Input assignment
• EQ settings
• Effector settings and assignment (assignment and
parameters for both internal effects units)
• Effect send and loop levels
• Pan
• Digital pad/gain
• Fader settings (including the
STEREO fader)
• Sub-mixer settings
