Recording an Automix
This section provides a general procedure for Automix recording.
1
Connect a timecode source.
2
Select the timecode source and frame rate.
See “Selecting the Timecode Source & Frame Rate” on page 177 for more information.
3
Use the DISPLAY ACCESS [AUTOMIX] button to locate the Automix Main
page.
4
On the Automix Main page, use the ENABLED/DISABLED button to enable
the Automix function.
5
On the Automix Main page, use the OVERWRITE buttons to select which
parameters you want to record.
The corresponding OVERWRITE buttons pages appear highlighted.
6
On the Automix Main page, press the REC button.
The REC button flashes.
Alternatively, you could press the AUTO REC button so that Automix recording starts auto-
matically when timecode is received. The main difference between REC and AUTO REC is
that the AUTO REC functions remains on when recording is stopped, whereas REC must
be pressed each and every time you want to start recording. Initially however, REC may be
the safer option.
7
Use the [AUTO] buttons to arm channels for Automix recording.
The [AUTO] button indicators of armed channels light up orange.
8
Start the timecode source.
The REC and PLAY buttons appear highlighted.
9
Adjust the faders and other controls as necessary.
Use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the currently selected channel. Channels are
selected automatically when the [AUTO] buttons are pressed. You can punch channels out
of recording by using the [AUTO] buttons.
10
To stop Automix recording, stop the timecode source, or press the STOP but-
ton on the Automix Main or Memory page.
When the Mix Update Confirmation preference is on (see page 233), a confirmation mes-
sage appears asking if you want to update the existing Automix data (i.e., keep the edits just
recorded).
