Page: 322 / 415

The two light yellow boxes at the foot of the snapshot list, determine whether faders
or switches that have been set to
Protected Manual mode (see Pages 5-55 and 5-59),
will have their settings overwritten by a recalled snapshot or not. The choice can be
made for when the automation system is on or off
Simply stab on the boxes to toggle between Use Protection and Ignore Protection .
Note that any control in Protected Replay will be overwritten by a snapshot whether
automation is on or not.
Editing Mix Data
Once you have automation data written for faders and objects, that data may be edited
graphically with the pen and tablet interface. Select
Overview from the MIX-DESK
menu and scroll the Overview display horizontally so that the channel you wish to
edit is in view. Now centre the playhead (Desk position) on the area you want to edit
by stabbing on that spot. Select the
Edit menu followed by Edit Mix . Now select Trim
Mix and you will be prompted to stab on the channel you wish to edit; the Edit Mix
Data pop-up will then appear (see lower screen opposite).
The two timecode boxes on the left hand side of the pop-up show the length of the edit
window. Stabbing on the timecode displays moves the window up or down by half a
window with each stab. You can also stab and drag on the timecodes to change the
values.
To assist in the editing process, it is possible to create multiple generic ‘SL 9000’ marks,
from this pop-up, at the playhead position. The positions of any Marks are indicated
by blue lines across the display and timecode references to the left. If a mark
represents a named event or cue, its name will be shown on the right hand side of the
pop-up.
If there is a audio clip present on the Overview display in the area you wish to edit,
the edit window will show this in blue; otherwise the window will have a black
background. Audio clips on the Overview display may be generated by the
Capture
Clips facility (see Page 5-83) or if your system is fitted with a DiskTrack.
If the edit window is under 10 secs, the Wave function on the Edit Mix Data pop-up
enables a waveform display of any DiskTrack audio clip present in the edit window.
This provides an obvious advantage when editing mix data. The associated
Gain
function enables the amplitude (magnification) of the waveform to be adjusted within
a range of 1-24.
In the bottom left hand corner of the pop-up is a box which, when stabbed, gives you a
list of automated controls whose mix data you can edit on this display (the same as the
list for Overview display). The currently selected item will be displayed in the box and
the Edit Mix Data display will subtly alter if you change to a different selection.
For the time being, we will concentrate on the editing of switch data. Before moving
on, select a switch object from the list. See Page 5-83 for information on editing fader
data.
