Recording an Automix
This section provides a general procedure for Automix recording.
1Connect a timecode source.
2Select the timecode source and frame rate.
See “Selecting the Timecode Source & Frame Rate” on page 152 for more information.
3Use the DISPLAY ACCESS [AUTOMIX] button to locate the Automix Main
page.
4On the Automix Main page, use the ENABLED/DISABLED button to enable
the Automix function.
5On the Automix Main page, use the OVERWRITE buttons to select which
parameters you want to record.
The corresponding OVERWRITE buttons pages appear highlighted.
6On the Automix Main page, press the REC button.
The REC button flashes.
Alternatively, you could press the AUTO REC button so that Automix recording starts auto-
matically when timecode is received. The main difference between REC and AUTO REC is
that the AUTO REC functions remains on when recording is stopped, whereas REC must
be pressed each and every time you want to start recording. Initially however, REC may be
the safer option.
7Use the [AUTO] buttons to arm channels for Automix recording.
The [AUTO] button indicators of armed channels light up orange.
8Start the timecode source.
The REC and PLAY buttons appear highlighted.
9Adjust the faders and other controls as necessary.
Use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the currently selected channel. Channels are
selected automatically when the [AUTO] buttons are pressed. You can punch channels out
of recording by using the [AUTO] buttons.
10 To stop Automix recording, stop the timecode source, or press the STOP but-
ton on the Automix Main or Memory page.
A confirmation message appears asking if you want to update the existing Automix data
(i.e., keep the edits just recorded).
Rerecording Events
Events can be rerecorded as many times as you like. Remember, however, that unlike the
first pass, on subsequent passes existing events for the currently punched in parameter are
overwritten, so use the OVERWRITE buttons and [AUTO] buttons with care. Instead of
using the [AUTO] buttons to punch in an entire channel, you can reduce the risk of over-
writing important data by punching in and out individual parameters (see page 156). Use
the Update To End option to determine how existing events are handled when rerecording
is stopped (see page 146). Use the Edit Out (see page 147) and Fader Edit (see page 148)
options to determine how Fader events are rerecorded.
