56 EDIT MODE

EDITING AND AUTOMA TION
When performing edits that cause audio to move, it is necessary to edit any automation data
that exists in that region accordingly. If automation data is left untouched by an audio edit,
the mix will be wrong. For example, when removing a piece of audio:
Without including the automation data in the edit, the fade is now in the wrong place.
Editing automation data with the audio edit means that the fade is still in the correct place
relative to the audio:
The editing functions on the DPS24 include a Q-LINK control that allows you to decide whether
automation data will be affected by the edit or not. This parameter exists on all the audio edit func-
tions allowing you to decide how the automation will be affected when editing.
The options are:
OFF Automation data will not be carried with the audio edit.
SELECTED
Automation data on the tracks selected for editing will be carried with
the edit.
ALL Automation for all channels will be carried with the audio edit. This
latter option is only useful if you are doing extensive multi-track edit-
ing (for example, editing all 24-tracks where you may also want the
mix of external instruments being sequenced through the Input chan-
nels to also be carried across with the edit).
NOTE:
Care should be taken if you perform an edit with ALL selected and then attempt to paste/
insert that edit with SELECTED chosen as the AUTOMATION EDIT. In this case, your automation
data at the point of the insert will be potentially disrupted. If you perform an edit with ALL selected,
this should only then be used with PASTE/INSERT also set to ALL.
