Recording Automix Data
You can record Automix data two ways:
•
Realtime Automix
—Realtime Automix records changes you make to mix settings as
the project plays. This method captures every subtle change you make, and is the
best method to use when you’re making constant adjustments to your parameter
values over the course of a project. You can also punch in new parameter value
changes in realtime.
•
Snapshot Automix
—Snapshot Automix, as its name suggests, captures your mix
settings at a particular moment. Whenever the timeline travels back to that
moment when Automix is turned on, the snapshot’s settings are instantly recalled.
Snapshots are great for sudden changes to a mix—at the beginning of a solo, for
example, when a guitarist’s level has to be made louder. You can smooth the
transition to a snapshot’s settings using Automix GRADATION (Page 337).
You can use the two approaches for different parts of the same mix if you like.
Realtime Automix Recording
1. Press AUTOMIX to turn Automix mode on if AUTOMIX isn’t already lit amber.
2. Set the desired Automix tracks to Write mode in either of two ways. You can:
• hold down AUTOMIX and press the AUTOMIX STATUS button for any input,
track, Aux master or FX return channel you want to automate until AUTOMIX
STATUS turns red to indicate that its Automix track is ready to record.
• hold down SHIFT and press AUTOMIX to view the AUTOMIX screen, and set
each Automix track you want to record to Write. You can change the status of
the MASTER bus, Direct bus and effect patch Automix tracks only on the
AUTOMIX screen.
3. Press ZERO to rewind to the top of the project or move the timeline to the location
at which you want to begin recording Automix data.
4. While holding down AUTOMIX, press AUTOMIX REC—the AUTOMIX button
flashes to show that Automix data can now be recorded.
5. Press PLAY and perform your mix—the changes you make are recorded onto the
Write-enabled Automix tracks.
6. Press STOP when you’re done—Automix recording is automatically turned off.
7. Change the status of the Automix tracks you’ve just recorded to Read mode by:
• holding down AUTOMIX and pressing the AUTOMIX STATUS buttons for
your automated input, track, Aux bus or FX return channels until they’re green.
• holding down SHIFT, pressing AUTOMIX, and setting each automated track to
Read mode.
8. Press ZERO or move the timeline to the location at which you started mixing.
9. Press PLAY to hear your automation—if you made changes to the positions of your
faders during the writing of Automix data, you’ll see them move during playback.
10. To re-do your automation—or to record new Automix data—repeat Steps 2-9.
In order to automate a parameter’s value, its parameter group must be checkmarked in
the AUTOMIX screen’s WRITING PARAMETER area—see Page 326.
If you’re working on a project that you’ll turn into an audio CD, you’ll eventually cut
unwanted extra space off the front of the project. You can do this by trimming your
mastering tracks. However, if you plan to trim the project before recording your
mastering tracks, consider doing it before recording your Automix data so you don’t
have to move the corresponding Automix data after cleaning up the front of the audio.
