Creating a New Automix

Recording

A new Automix recording must be created before actual Automix recording can occur.

NOTE

•The contents of the current Automix recording will be erased when a new Automix recording is created. To save the current Automix data refer to “Automix Library Operation” on page 190.

1Use the channel faders, pan controls, EQ, etc., to set up the mix at the beginning of the current song, and save the mix as a scene.

The saved “initial” scene will serve as the starting point for the Automix recording. To use a different scene as the starting point for the Automix recording, recall the desired scene. Refer to “Scene Memory Operation” on page 159 for details.

HINT

•When a new Automix recording is created, a “recall event” for the last saved or recalled scene is recorded at the very begin- ning of the Automix recording. This initial scene can be changed later, as described on page 188.
