10.Press the top panel [STOP] key.

Chapter14—Automix

6.Press the top panel [PLAY] key to play back the song.

When song playback is started with the AUTO REC button on, the REC button will be turned on automatically, and automix will be in record mode. However, recording will not actually occur since the recording channel has not yet been selected.

7.When the song arrives at the punch-in location, press [SEL] key 1 (moni- tor channel 1).

Recording of pan operations on the corresponding channel will begin at the moment you press the [SEL] key (punch-in). At this time, the corresponding [SEL] key will blink.

8.While listening to the song, operate the [PAN] control.

9.When you are ﬁnished, press the [SEL] key of the same channel once again.

The [SEL] key of the corresponding channel will go dark, and recording will end (punch-out). Automix will still be in a recordable state, but recording will not actually occur since no recording channel is selected.

Note

If you did not operate the [PAN] control in step 8, the currently-recorded pan oper- ation events between the punch-in and punch-out locations will be erased. This method can be used to erase speciﬁc events from the corresponding section of the song.

10.Press the top panel [STOP] key.

A message will ask whether you wish to update the automix with the newly recorded content. If you wish to update the automix, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

When you stop the song, the on-screen REC will return to the Off state. However, since the AUTO REC button will remain on, you can punch-in on the automix again by pressing the [PLAY] key. If you wish to turn off the AUTO REC button, move the cursor to the AUTO REC button, and press the [ENTER] key.
