Saving and Exiting Automix

In some cases, you may want to temporarily switch back to manual mixing after you’ve recorded Automix data. The easiest way to do this is to simply press [AUTOMIX] to turn Automix off. Later, you can press [AUTOMIX] again to turn Automix back on, and your previously recorded Automix data will play back. Since all recorded Automix data is stored when you use Song Store, you can be confident your automated mix is only a button touch away.

If you perform Song Store when Automix is on (i.e. [AUTOMIX] is lit), the next time you select the song, it will load and Automix will be turned on.

If you record Automix data, then turn Automix off (i.e. [AUTOMIX] is not lit), and then use Song Store, the next time you select the song, Automix will be off. However, you can press [AUTOMIX] to turn it on, and your previously recorded Automix data will be in place.
