208 Chapter 17—Automix
DM2000 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
If during Automix recording you punch in an individual parameter by using the controls
listed in the above table, even if some OVERWRITE buttons are on, only the existing data
of that particular parameter will be overwritten. Likewise, when you punch out an individ-
ual parameter by using the controls listed above, only that particular parameter will be
punched out.
If during Automix recording you press an [AUTO] button to punch in a channel, the exist-
ing data of all parameters for which the corresponding OVERWRITE buttons are on will be
overwritten. When you press the [AUTO] button to punch out of recording, all of those
parameters will be punched out.
When faders are grouped with the Fader Group Master function turned off, if the OVER-
WRITE FADER button is on, pressing an [AUTO] button or touching the fader knob of any
fader in the group (if TOUCH SENSE on the Fader Edit page is on) puts all the correspond-
ing channels into Record mode and all the [AUTO] button indicators light up red. The same
applies to Mute (OVERWRITE ON button) and EQ (OVERWRITE EQ button) groups.
Playing Back an Automix
So long as the Automix function is enabled, the Automix function will chase the incoming
timecode and play and stop the current Automix accordingly. Playback stops automatically
when the end of the Automix data is reached. Playback can be stopped manually by pressing
the STOP or ABORT button on the Automix Main or Memory pages, or the AUTOMIX
[ABORT/UNDO] button. Playback will stop automatically if no timecode is received for a
while, for example, if the timecode source is disconnected or turned off.
If the timecode source is set to internal, use the PLAY button on the Automix Main or Mem-
ory page to start Automix playback, and the STOP button to stop it.
You can disable Automix playback on individual channels by using the channel strip
[AUTO] buttons. During playback, the [AUTO] button indicators appear green. When
Automix playback for an individual channel is disabled, its [AUTO] button indicator goes
out.
During playback, faders move in accordance with recorded Fader events (so long as the cor-
responding Layer and Fader mode is selected). Fader movement can be disabled by turning
off the fader motors (see page 199). Fader events can be viewed on the Fader Edit pages (see
page 199).
Other events are reflected by the channel strip displays and various other displays and but-
ton indicators. Recorded events of the currently selected channel are displayed by the
SELECTED CHANNEL section controls and displays.
Warning: If the effects type is different to that which was used when the effects parameter edits
were recorded, the parameter edits will not be played back. However, they are not deleted.
When you rerecord effects parameter edits, it’s recommended that you delete the existing effects
events offline. See “Editing Events Offline” on page 209 for more information.
