4 – Operation : Writing Mix Moves 

 TASCAM DM 

Automation Guide

 21

Write To End: 

When the Write Revert Time is set to 

∞

s

, you are 

essentially telling the automation system to maintain 
a control’s last setting from the point where the auto-
mation recording ends, all the way to the end of the 
program. This is called 

Write To End

. In this case, 

any mix moves existing in the time between the end 
of automation recording and the end of the program 
will be erased.

NOTE

A Write/Trim to End operation must be completed by 
stopping the timecode. Manually disabling Write or 
Trim mode while timecode is running will not perform a 
Write To End operation. 

AUTO REVERT must be enabled to use Write To End. 

See the diagrams below to understand how this 
works:
