@scruffyd, Well since I have an S3000-surface, I like to keep things on few faders. Three keyboards + backtracks etc. becomes many faders, and having mixed pre/post settings on input channels after an initial surface setup is not very logical imo. I don’t want the console to decide anything I haven’t set up for it.
I am not seeking tips about what to have pre/post and why, been doing this quite a while. I am speaking workflow.
The same goes for the home button thing. On a DiGiCo or Yamaha console, your chosen settings for the rotary encoders stays where you last left them. Coming from one of those consoles, where you hit “home” for different reasons it might be confusing with the rotaries suddenly changing function. That is probably not the purpose you have when hitting that button. Therefore, it feels illogical and again, for me, it’s a hickup in the workflow. If I want another function, I want to hit the designed button for it, which is there.
There are workarounds, and there are simple and logical designs.
I just want to raise these questions because I suspect I will not be the only one wondering. Without input from people in the field, the software programmers may leave functions in an illogical way, simply because they are not sound engineers themselves.
Some might want to leave it “as is”, I feel there is a way or an implemented option or design that can improve an already stellar console. It’s still young and history has shown alot of improvement over time on other consoles. If we can contribute to such development through this forum – which I believe we can, is the reason I raised these questions.
Cheers // Gustav
