Using Focus And Recall Safe To Ensure The Outputs Work As Expected - Yamaha M7CL Quick Start Manual

M7CL Quick Start Guide Part 3

Using Focus and Recall Safe to ensure the outputs work as expected.

When merging scenes into the same session like this we should take extra care to check that patching changes are
not going to happen that render the process ineffectual. For example if Band A outputs are patched to different
Omni outs then possibly they won't be heard!
Careful use of the knowledge learned in this guide can ensure that outputs remain routed to the correct Omni
outputs and have the correct processing applied. Use either Recall Safe or Focus to ensure this.
Focus can be set either from the scene window of the M7CL editor or the console. Use Focus to remove Output
patching from recall and if necessary output processing like EQ and dynamics. Don't apply the "WITH SENDS"
button or the sends levels feeding into the outputs will also be removed from recall.
Additionally you might wish to Safe any RACK GEQs from recall in the RECALL SAFE screen if you wish to use the
GEQ settings set by the engineer whose session you are merging into.
If Recall Safe and Focus cannot cope with the patching requirements and changes, remember you can always use
the editor to create a new patch for your old scenes.
Good luck and Enjoy mixing with Scenes!
