Mem A/Mem B

Memory A and Memory B are two separate storage banks that let you temporarily store your set-ups. This is handy for quick A/B comparison and referencing.

Write Button:

Write enables the D8B’s automation so that all of the changes that you make to the Pro Audio plug-in will be recorded as part of the D8B session. This works in a manner similar to a channel’s write button. To record automation for a plug-in, “All” must be turned on in the automation section of the D8B (and automation must be out of Bypass). When the D8B is recording, plug-in parameter edits are recorded only if the plug-ins Write button is ON, or if Auto Touch (in the automation section) is turned on. When you hit stop, the plug-in's Write button turns OFF.

Menu Button:

This drop-down menu enables familiar functions such as undo, redo, load, save, re- set, cut, copy and paste. Saving as “User Preset” saves all parameters of Pro Audio Lab, including customized settings in the Analysis and Generation menus.

Analysis:

The Analysis button opens a drop-down menu that lets you select from Levels, Spectrum Analyzer, or Phase Analyzer. This is where specific analysis tools can be selected and profiled.

Generation:

The Generation button opens a drop-down menu that lets you select from a variety of sound generation devices such as Noise, Slate Tones, Oscillator, and the Tuning ref- erences: Piano, Guitar, Bass, and A440.
