Local Link Mode
In Local Link mode, the compressors within an 8 fader section can linked
together to form any size links in any combination, so that all the link
members being compressed are treated as one and compressed
identically.
It is always the loudest signal within this link-group that causes the
compressor to action once the threshold has been reached, regardless of
which signal this actually is.
Creating links will always link that path with the path to it's right.
Links can be any size (from 2 to 8-wide) in any combination.
It is possible to set up a single 8-wide link.
It is not possible to link across different 8-fader sections of the console.
A typical linking example would be channels 1 & 2 linked together, and
channels 4 & 5 linked together to form two link groups.
It would then be possible to include channel 3 to join these links together
to form one complete link, but noting that channel 3 would also be
included in the link group if selected.
To isolate channel 3 it would be necessary to remove the compressor from
the channel or the monitor path by using the DYN button (turned off) on
the channel strip to isolate it.
Global Link Mode
In Global Link Mode all of the compressors across the entire width of the
console will act as a single compressor across all of the signals fed into it.
In Local or Global Link
Mode, the Threshold, Ratio,
etc values can all be
different for paths that are
linked, and all of these
controls can be set
independently of each other.
It is the loudest signal in the
group that will cause all of
those linked dynamics to
action at once.
When linking the Dynamics
using the F4 and F5 buttons,
all of the these controls are
linked and will hold the same
values.
It is always the loudest signal within this link-group that causes the
compressor to action once the threshold has been reached, regardless of
which signal this actually is.
F1 – F5 buttons
At the bottom of the DYN screen are function buttons, some of which
match up with the F1 to F5 buttons just below the 4 encoders.
Please see the section on EQ for a full explanation of these buttons and
functions, on page 97.
When linking Dynamics together in this way, all controls are linked apart
from the Global/Local Link buttons.
These will still operate independently of any links, and allow you to link
controls, yet still allow the loudest signal within that group to cause the
dynamics to action.
NB:
With regard to linking the Dynamics, it is irrelevant whether the
Dynamics are operating on the channel input or DAW input
section.
