Mix Options Parameters

A number of transport-related options are

available, which are mirrored in the Setup/Mix
Options window. These include:
• Single Btn Rec (One Button Punch) — puts

connected record devices into record mode by
simply pressing the RECORD button.

• Use Write Ready — the Master Record button

becomes the Master Write button.

• Solo Latch — Solo buttons remain engaged even

when a new Solo button is pressed.

• Record Safe — prohibits engaging the RECORD

function.

• Write Flyback — causes the levels to snap back to

their original punch-in states after an automation
pass on a track.

• Use PreRoll — causes playback transport to begin

before the specified locate point based on the Pre-
Roll time entered in the MIDI Setup window.

• See Mix Options in the Setup section (page 69) for

more information about these parameters.
