disk recorder for slating or funky tracking. Also, if you own high-
end analog outboard processors (maybe a pair of 1176’s or a
Fairchild 670), you could easily patch them into inserts on any mixer
channel.
The SX-1 takes the digital console concept even further with pres-
tige, name brand, onboard effects by TC Works and Antares. It also
possesses one of the best surround mixing interfaces on the market
today, making routing and creation of 5.1 mixes as easy as a few
button presses.
The SX-1’s tactile control sur-
face features 17 touch sensi-
tive, 100mm, long thro w
motorized faders…16 channel
faders plus one master. The
throw of these faders is the
same as those on large-format
recording consoles like those
from SSL and Neve. Other fea-
tures of the control surface
include: horizontal channel
strip, Jog and Shuttle wheel and transport control, and 10-key pad.
A color-matched computer keyboard and mouse come as standard
equipment with the SX-1. To offer even more functionality, the SX-
1 has 16 fader banks that determine which parameters are con-
trolled by the SX-1’s faders.
Both a large LCD display and a full-color VGA output are provided
for displaying mixing and editing data.
Not only is the SX-1’s mixer easy to route - it’s even easier to auto-
mate. It offers the most extensive automation system ever released
for a standalone DAW. All of the audio mixing parameters on the
console can be automated from the control surface. Innovative
automation capabilities, such as rendering library recall events into
the dynamic automation data, set the SX-1’s automation system
apart from less-advanced systems. One of the most important fea-
tures of the SX-1’s automation system is that it is largely transpar-
ent, so the operator can concentrate on the mix instead of "run-
ning" the automation system. Most functions are accessible by
pressing a single button, as opposed to other systems that require
paging through a labyrinth of menus, submenus and parameter
settings for even simple operations. While the SX-1’s VGA Graphic
User Interface allows very detailed editing of automation and other
data, it isn’t required to make a great mix or even to use the
automation.
