Complete channel reset

[Mfk0815]

a full channel reset including all sends (Aux and Main), Pannings, Channel Names and Color…… would be fine

[SteffenR]

reset button…
reset + select defaults the processing
reset + mix defaults the routing
reset + Fader up resets the fader at 0dB
reset + Fader down resets the fader to lowest value

What are default colors and default names?

[Wolfgang]

there is also the possibility to load completely zeroed scenes. 😉

and with the recall filter you can also select which areas should not be recalled.

I don’t see any real need for a complete reset for individual channels, personally it’s okay for me if the channel names are not overwritten when I reset a channel.

What are default colors and default names?

Green for inputs and the input number as name, as it is hen loading a default scene.

reset button…
reset + select defaults the processing
reset + mix defaults the routing
reset + Fader up resets the fader at 0dB
reset + Fader down resets the fader to lowest value

Too much operations/gestures for one simple task.

Same as above.
For me is ‘reset channel’ a complete reset not judt a partial reset. Its fine to have the option to reset partial parameters of a channel but a full ‘go back to start’ should be easily possible. Of course there are always ways to solve the task but defining a workaround as the preffered way….. hmm.

[Wolfgang]

OK, such a reset solution would in fact be the simpler solution.

in the course of time I have adapted my way of working to the logic of the console – so that I don’t miss it.

[Mfk0815]

Yeah, once there is a ‘rule of thumb’ to do a particular task no other way is required. I come mainly from the lower range of mixing desks, although I worked for band mixing jobs also with the dLive here and there. But now I got my own and during learning to work with it I not only am overwhelmed by the new possibilities, instead I see also some missing features available for some budget mixers.
Nevertheless it is a great product, even we can help A&H to make it better.

[SteffenR]

ok… if we talk about this, we have to talk about reset the Pan and some other things

So, how should the Channel Total Reset and the others be implemented?

I would like to suggest it liked this (comments appreciated)

reset button… (this would/should be valid for Copy/Paste as well)
reset + select defaults the processing
reset + mix defaults the routing
reset + Fader up resets the fader at 0dB
reset + Fader down resets the fader to lowest value
reset + Name field in the upper left corner resets it to default name
reset + Mix + Select resets the complete channel to it’s defaults including Colour and Name

I have no idea for the colour alone…

what’s not implemented for CPR is Delay, Sidechain of Compressor, Ganging, FX, AMM, Inserts, single Routings (like send levels , pre/post)
some of these would make more sense if we can have a multi select and then apply the paste or reset,
and some of these are questionable to me…

[Wolfgang]

reset + Mix + Select resets the complete channel to it’s defaults including Colour and Name

oh yes, that would be a good idea.

[SteffenR]

I would appreciate some comments from A&H… Ben?

Does anybody have an idea how we could like to reset the channel color in a quick way?
Is it really needed?

[alex.abel]

Great ideas!

Furthermore I would like to have something like a personal preset for resetting channels. For example my personal default for the width of the EQ filters or attack and release time of the compressor are different from dLive default settings. It would be great to set my personal defaults for resetting channels. At the moment I always have to recall library settings after resetting a channel or mix.

[Mfk0815]

Hello Steffen,
Great ideas, for me Reset+ Name-Field can reset name and color together.

I also can see action for a custom function key to load a certain channel preset from the library to the current selected channel. But his would probably only work for the input channels but not for the other channel types….

You wrote also

This brings me to another idea. It would be nice to copy a range of channels to another range of channels. Possible use casefor that: I am starting to setup the Mixer for a band starting from input channel 1. I set up the inputs, the naming, the color some processing for the channels, insert DEEP processing stuff and so on, for each of the channels of the band. All these channels (maybe 30 or more) should be used for the FOH mix. Then I want a copy of that channels, starting from channel 65, which should then be used as Source for the monitor mixes. At the moment I have to setup each monitor mix channel one by one again. And at the moment I don’t know a way to copy the settings from the FOH mix channels to the monitor mix channels. Probably there is a trick using scenes or something else, but I don’t see it.

[Mike Storm]

It’s more operations, but you can reset name and/or colour to default values from the MixRack / Config / Name&Colour screen, for a single channel or for a range of channels.

[Wolfgang]

of course there is also this possibility.
but the idea of Mkf0815 is just to be able to do a complete reset per channel. that doesn’t exist (yet).

[Ben A&H]

@steffenromeiss

Some good ideas, particularly like this:

Reset + Mix + Select resets the complete channel to it’s defaults including Colour and Name

I will add some of these reset suggestions to the feature request list!

[SteffenR]

maybe we can get preference what is the default for some parameters
