[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 74831, member: 2826"] Combat Audio Console Labeling Using the iPad If this has already been covered somewhere in the previous 200 pages, my apologies to the original poster. If not, here is something I found last night that will be useful for occasions where you have no time but still need to relabel the console. Using a bluetooth keyboard with the iPad, it is possible to relabel the console as quickly as you can type, as long as you start at channel 1 and proceed in order through the console. 1) Get to input channel 1, go to the "Naming" tab. 2) Put the cursor into the name field, which may or may not have a name already in it from previous use. 3) Delete whatever you don't want to use, or delete it all so you start with a clean slate (probably quicker). 4) Type in what you want. 5) If you want to change the color of the channel, do so in a way that you don't cause the cursor to leave the name field (don't let your finger linger on the color wheel). 6) Hit "Return" on the keyboard, and repeat for the next channel. 7) When finished, go back to whatever screen you want. When you next need to rename, the cursor will be still in the naming field, and you can hit "Delete" repeatedly to get back to a clean slate on the channel of choice. As long as you don't need to go backwards in channel numbers, you can zip through the input strip quicker than writing with a pen on a scribble strip. Going backward does not seem to be possible using the keyboard only, although I hope someone can correct me. Presumably using XControl can do the same thing on your laptop, but this is how to do it on the iPad if you have that and a keyboard at the gig and not a laptop. [/QUOTE]
