To­uch Ho­ld Functio­n With Touch Hold engaged, the setting of a touched control will be maintained
when it is released. If Touch Record was enabled before the control was
touched, it will stay in RECORD upon release. Touch Hold can function for
faders, rotaries, and switches and can work in READ, WRITE, and TRIM
modes.
Held Plays Mix This feature allows the read mix to be heard, even though one or more ob-
jects are being held in an audition state awaiting a punch-in. This allows true
emulation of the resultant mix, while the mix pass is being run.
Mix Pass Co­ntro­l Full flexibility is allowed for how a new Mix Pass automatically merges with
the Active Pass Read Mix data. The setting of a control when it is punched
out may be written to the punch-out point; the next data change in the read
mix; when a level match occurs (auto-takeover); or the end of the mix, the
end of time (23:59:59:2x), or a fixed cue point. In addition, the setting at the
punch-out point may be extended back to the punch-in point, the beginning
of the mix, the beginning of time (00:00:00.00), of a fixed cue point.
Enhanced Glide Co­ntro­l When the Glide function is active, every transition between the Read Mix data
and the new pass will Glide from one to the other according to the current
glide time. In addition, some Glide transitions may be optionally set to ‘back
time’ the Glide so that they are completed at the desired edit point, rather than
started there. Also, specific Glide transitions may be suppressed while others
are allowed.
Scene Capture
Any specific set of controls, their settings, and automation modes can be
saved in the Scene buffer. This allows the exact settings of those controls to
be punched into the mix at a later time when the scene occurs again.
Read Lo­ck This forces the automation system to playback the current Active Mix and
ignore any and all key and control changes. This ensures a perfect audition
playback or layback to the final master record machine.
Real Time Switch Editing Switch data may be edited in real time allowing the movement of the in-point
and or the out-point, as well as adding or deleting Mutes and Ins or Outs.
Event List Edito­r
All automation events may be edited (moved, copied, or deleted) offline using
the Event List Editor.
Full Offline Editing The OFLA application is integrated in Au. Mix data comprising
the entire mix, or any specified objects for any specified time range may be
changed, merged, or copied with other mixes or itself.
Pro­tectio­n Any set of controls may be placed in a protected status. Protected controls
playback their recorded moves, but are prevented from being enabled for
Write or Trim operations. This is useful for protecting channels or controls
that have already been written, while working on other aspects of the mix.
Write Zo­ne A Write Zone may be specified so that no data can be written outside the time
range specified. This is useful for working on a specific scene or section while
protecting the rest of the mix from accidentally writing into it. This will also
facilitate the automatic punch-out (with or without glide) at the end of the
Write Zone.
