Roland VS-1824 owner manual Updating Automix for a Selected Group of Faders, 131

Updating Automix

When using Automix, it is not necessary to mix all track faders simultaneously. You can mix just the first eight tracks, for example, and then go back and mix the next eight tracks. Or, select a combination of faders that is most comfortable for you. After the first Automix pass, you can go back and update the mix, either on a channel-by-channel basis, or based on a particular section of your song.
