Recording Mixer Settings (Auto Mix)

With the VS-880EX, you can record the present status or condition of the mixer as a Scene. Unlike with Scenes, you can alternatively store information at spe- cific times during playback to markers. Referred to as Auto Mix, this includes the mixer settings, time-based channel fader movements, and other settings. When during playback you reach a point where a marker is set, the mixer settings automatically switch to those stored at the marker. This is convenient when mixing with complicated settings that are difficult to repro- duce manually.

The following mixer settings can be recorded in Auto Mix.

*Items printed in bold are those that can be adjusted direct- ly with the faders on the top panel. You can record the time-based movements of the faders by moving the faders during playback of the song.
