Recording the Automix Data

Here’s how to record mix operation data to the newly cre- ated Automix recording.

1 Move the song location to just before the point at which you want to begin recording the Automix data.

2 Call the AUTOMIX screen Automix page by either pressing the [AUTOMIX] key as many times as necessary, or by pressing the [F1] key after pressing the [AUTOMIX] key.

3 Move the cursor to the ENABLE/DISABLE button in the MODE field and press the [ENTER] key.

The button will switch to “ENABLE”, and Automix operation will be enabled.

4 Move the cursor to the OVERWRITE field and engage the buttons corresponding to the parameters you want to record.

Use the OVERWRITE field buttons to select the types of data you want to record: CH ON. FADER, AUX/

EFFECT SEND ON, AUX EFFECT SEND, EQ, PAN. Parameters corresponding to buttons that are not engaged will not be recorded even if they are operated during Automix recording.

HINT

•Scene and library recall operations will be recorded regard- less of the OVERWRITE field button selections.

5 Move the cursor to the MODE field and press the REC button.

The REC button will flash. The Automix record standby mode is now engaged, and the [AUTOMIX] key will flash red.

HINT

•You can also begin recording after engaging the AUTOREC button rather than the REC button. The REC button is auto- matically turned off when you stop recording and the record standby mode is disengaged, but the AUTOREC button remains on and the record standby mode remains engaged until it is manually turned off.

6 Use the Layer section keys to select the mixing layer that includes the channels you want to operate.

For example, to record operations on the track channel faders engage either the Layer section [TRACK 1-12] or [TRACK 13-24] key.

HINT

•You can switch mixing layers even after Automix recording has been started.

•If you plan to record operations performed in the Selected Channel section it is a good idea to select the appropriate parameters before starting recording. For example, if you plan to record pan changes, engage the Selected Channel section [PAN/EQ] key before beginning.

7 Press the top-panel PLAY [ ] key to start song playback.

The [AUTOMIX] key will light red and Automix recording will begin. But at this point no channel has been selected so no data recording will actually take place.

8 Use the [INPUT SEL], [SEL], or [STEREO	19
SEL] keys to select the channel for which
Automix data is to be recorded.	Automix
The selected key will flash orange and the correspond-
ing channel’s parameters can be recorded to Automix.
HINT

•Multiple channels can be selected for Automix recording.

•If you press a key that is flashing orange during Automix recording, the key will light continuously and Automix record- ing for the corresponding channel will be disengaged (punched out). Refer to “Punch In and Out of Automix” on page 185 for details.
