ATTACK
Adjust the Attack of the gate
The attack time controls the speed of the gate opening. The time is in microseconds, under one second.
A gate that opens too quickly on a slower signal attack can produce a click sound. The simple solution is
to extend the attack time until the click sound disappears. Consider very fast attack times for percussive
instrumentsandslowertimes(10msormore)foreverythingelse.
HOLD
Adjust the Hold time.
The hold time is the minimum time the gate is held open. Hold time is often set to a minimum of 20-30
milliseconds to prevent chatter. Chatter is the constant opening and closing of a gate due to a high-speed
uctuatingsignallevel.

A snapshot remembers every setting of your mixer at one time. A common usage for snapshots is to

At the end of each song, change to the next snapshot and every setting on the mixer is ready for that
song to start.

Note. MTK Playback and Record USB stick needs to be inserted in the front recording slot and
to enable 22 simultaneous tracks to be recorded, the USB write and read speed off the inserted
media must be compliant ( the buffer setting in the mixer interface will indicate buffer size and any
write speed issues.

MONITOR ACCESS LIMIT
This Tab/View manages access permissions - limiting feature access per user. Given that a typical setup may have
multiple users logged into the Ui software, each doing their own monitor mix, it makes sense to limit their access to
reduce the possibility of accidentally changing a front of house mix.
This feature is not password protected, it is intended as a safety measure to protect accidental corruption of your mix
by other users. It is especially helpful for setting up monitor permissions.

Oneofthemostcommonproblemsexperiencedwithmixingconsolesisndingthataninputisn’t
appearing at an output. There are many possible reasons for this, but the best way to troubleshoot it is
togothroughtheexpectedsignalpathandworkoutwherethe‘break’is...
It is also important that you double checking all routing, assignments, and Solo / Mute Group status.
You can check the exact audio path of any signal by referring to the input signal path diagram in
Section 2.3.
Are Solos inactive?
Checkfortheyellow‘S’isshownintheMasterChanneldisplayorayellowactivesoloindicatorinthe
DASHBOARD page, If a channel is soloed then all other channels may be muted.
Thisshouldn’taffectamainLeft/RightorMonooutputunlesstheMASTER+HPsolomodeisenabledinthe
SETTINGS.
Clear all active Solos either individually, or by using CLEAR SOLO in the DASHBOARD screen.
Check The input!
The physical input should be correctly connected. The physical input numbers correspond to the input channel
numbers in the Ui Control Software.
Is there anything on the meters?
By checking the Input and Output path meters, you should be able to localise a problem to a large extent.
The Input channel metering comes after the Mic/Line input but before the rest of the Input Channel. Therefore, if the input signal
is valid, and you have applied enough Gain, you should see a level indication on the input meters.
Output Channel metering is tapped just before the physical output.
Are they ‘in phase’?
Phase is only likely to cause an issue if coherent signals are applied to more than one channel and they are both
routed the same way. For example, you might be using a test signal, or using two channels for the same signal.
YoucancheckifphaseisanissuebyswitchingthePhase(GAINpage)onONEofthosechannels.Iftheaudiocomesback,
then look for the cause of the phase issue - it may be that a balanced connection has been wired incorrectly, for example.

Is the Gate shut?
It is possible for an incorrectly set Gate process to stop all signal.
This happens most often when the threshold is set too high and the signal never gets loud enough to 'open' the Gate. You can
easilycheckthisbybypassingactiveGatesinthedynamics(DYN)tabofthechannelEDITpage.
Are there any active mutes?
The Ui allows you to mute channels individually, via Mute Groups, or via MUTE ALL and MUTE FX buttons the in
the DASHBOARD.
Mute Group operation is described in section 6.1.
Is the Fader up?
The channel fader needs to be set high enough when routing to any post-fade destination. If your problem output
route is pre-fader, then fader position will have no effect.
Is the Output Master Channel Path valid?
Almostexactlythesamechecksasabovecanbedoneonanoutputchannel(AuxSends,MasterOutput).
Run through the same checks as above but for the Output channel.
Is the Physical Output Valid?
Check the connection, and your replay system.
If metering is showing a valid output, it is likely there is a problem at, or after, the physical output.

allow connections after changing the WPA password until network is forgotten on client.

When using the mixer in highly populated WiFi environments or extended distance we recommend using a

SYSTEM FAQ-HDMI
APP02: SYSTEM FAQ
HDMI connection issues:
The Ui24R requires that HDMI connected components be able to recognize and communicate with each
other. Thisisreferredtoasthe“HDMIhandshake”.Ifthe“handshake”doesn’twork,theHDCPencryption
that is imbedded in the HDMI signal is not being recognized properly by one, or more, of the connected
components.
This most often results in not being able to see anything on your monitor.
Beforefrustrationsetsin,therearesomethingsyoucandoyourselfifyoundthatyourHDMI-connected
components are not communicating properly.
1. Try A Different Turn-on Sequence For Your Components:
Inotherwords,ifyouhaveahabitofturningonyourMonitprrst,thenyourUi24Rtrythereverse
turn on sequence and see if that works.
Ifyoundasequencethatworks,rememberit.Ofcourse,makesurewheneverythingisturned
on, and that you have selected the correct input on your monitor.
Once you have determined the best turn-on sequence - write it down for future reference.
2. Check Your Source Device’s Video Resolution Output Setting:
Ui24Routputresolutionisxedat720pcheckthatyourmonitorissettothesameresolutionas
well, most monitors automatically scale to the right resolution although some need manual selec-
tion.
3. Troubleshooting HDMI-to-DVI or DVI-to-HDMI Connection Problems
Another HDMI connection issue sometimes arises when it is necessary to connect an HDMI-en-
abled device to a TV or monitor that has a DVI connection, or a DVI-enabled source device to an
HDMI-equipped TV.
Inthiscase,youneedtouseanHDMI-to-DVIconversioncable(HDMIononeend-DVIonother
other)oruseanHDMIcablewithanaddedHDMI-to-DVIadapteroraDVIcablewithaDVI-to-
HDMI adapter. Check out examples of DVI/HDMI adapters and cables on Amazon.com
The added requirement is that the DVI-equipped device you are connecting is HDCP-enabled.
This allows the proper communication between both the HDMI and DVI devices.
Ordinarily, there should not be a problem converting HDMI to DVI, but there can be. For example,
youwillndthat3Dand4Ksignalsarenotcompatible.Withstandard480p,720p,or1080preso-
lution video signals.
On the other hand, you can also run into a situation on older-DVI equipped TVs that even if they
areHDCPcompliant,theymaynothavetheproperrmwaretorecognizetheidentityoftheHDMI
source component you are trying to connect.
An ACTIVE HDMI to DVI or HDMI to VGA adapter normally works better than a passive one.
