Recall

Print Recall

Print Recall works with units captured with working controls: your own capture (Studio and Pro), or a published capture of the same model from the library. Another member's unit of the same model gives approximate settings, because units differ.

1. Go to Recall > New recall and choose the unit you printed through.
2. Upload two WAV files from your session: the dry track (what went into the unit; bounce the source with the insert bypassed) and the print (what came back). Same start and end; 30 to 60 seconds of the busiest part is ideal (10 seconds to 5 minutes).
3. Say whether you printed through exactly the same setup as when you captured the unit: the same interface, output and input.
4. Enter any settings you're sure of (the Input or Drive, say). DigMusiK keeps them fixed and works out the rest.
5. Press Upload and work out the settings. You get a recall sheet with each control's setting, ready to dial in.

You can also start a Print Recall from Print Recall in the plugin.

Checking a match

For a one-setting capture or a NAM file there are no settings to find, but you can check whether a print matches it: upload the dry track and the print under Check a match. DigMusiK lines them up, finds the level the print went in at, and tells you how closely it matches. Checks don't count towards your Print Recalls.

Re-dial checks

Got the settings back? Record a short dry and print pass at the rack and DigMusiK tells you whether the unit is back where it was, so you know before you print the whole song.

Automatic Recall

Automatic Recall logs every print while you work, with a dated history, so a recall later is one click.

1. Put one DigMusiK on the track before your hardware insert and choose This is the Send (before).
2. Put another DigMusiK after the insert (on the same track, or the return) and choose This is the Return (print). Both just pass the audio through.
3. On the Return, press Start logging prints. Add the song's title and songwriter if you like: the song is stamped at its first print with the title, songwriter, tempo and detected key, and each print is tagged with its place in the song.
4. Each time you print, DigMusiK checks on your computer whether the unit's sound changed. Only changed prints are sent for recall, and by default it asks before sending.
5. Open Automatic Recall in the plugin, or Recall on the website, to see the history and open the latest recall.

Rack Recall sheets

For any outboard, any brand. In Rack Recall, list your rack once (brand, model and its controls). Then, for each song, write down every setting and the patching, print the sheet, and compare two recalls to see which knobs moved. Start a new sheet from an earlier one to save time.
