The following diagram shows a simplified representation of how the automation system is used for creating
Mix/Passes:

Offline Automation

Mix/Passes are also created when using Encore's offline automation functions (Copy Path Data, Mix
Conforming, Fader Moves List, etc.). When an offline automation function is used to make changes, a new
Mix/Pass is created so that the existing Mix/Pass (i.e. source Mix/Pass) is preserved.

Mix/Pass Trees and individual Mix/Passes can also be transferred to a separate computer that has Offline
Encore installed on it. This allows offline automation functions to be performed without interrupting work on the
Logic MMC.

Controls that can be Automated

All controls that can form part of a signal path can be automated (e.g. fader, cut, aux contribution levels, etc.). A
notable exception to this is SOLO.

Controls that are not automated include all the monitoring controls, transport controls and other miscellaneous
functions.

For setting automation modes, the controls in each path are split into three categories:

o

Fader

o

CUT key

o

All other controls which can be automated

All controls that are in automation scope can have their automation modes changed by the Master Automation
Controls. In addition to this, each category of controls have keys for changing automation modes on individual
paths.

Fader

The automation mode of each fader can be controlled individually by the PLAY, REC, TRIM and GLIDE keys on
each fader strip. The fader is motorised so that it 'displays' previously recorded moves as they are played back.
