The New Mix Tree dialogue box will be displayed.
If the Client, Project and Title are locked then the next number for Mix Trees will be selected automatically.
Otherwise, select the Client, Project and Title in the same way as in the Filing utility (page 18:4), or create new
Client, Project or Title (see Filing page 18:3). The Next button can then be used to automatically select the next
Mix Tree number.
If required, edit the Mix Tree name. When the details are correct, click the OK button.
The new Mix Tree will be created. A progress bar will be displayed while the Initial Snapshot is taken and the new
files are created.
The Initial Snapshot and the automation modes of controls are stored as Mix/Pass 1.1.
When the process is complete a confirmation dialogue box will be displayed.
Click OK.
Move controls to their starting values
This can be done at any time before the system is put into Play. There are a several ways in which this can be
done and any combination can be used.
Initially, controls will have values according to either the last Desk Setup that was loaded or the last Mix/Pass
that was used.
Controls can reset using the Reset Wizard in Defaults Manager, have settings applied using a Snapshot or be
reset using the CLEAR key. Also, loading a Desk Setup will restore the control settings stored by the Desk Setup.
When controls have been set automatically, make manual adjustments to controls as required.
In the third case, the Safety Snapshot is taken and the Initial Snapshot is updated when good timecode is
received and the system goes into Play.
Automation modes can be changed as required while timecode is running.
Note that if a control is recording, then changing its automation mode will stop it recording. For instance,
switching a fader to Trim when it is already recording in Lock Record will snap the fader back to the Play Pass
position and then arm the fader for Trim.
If AutoKeep is enabled in Automation Preferences then the Record Pass will be automatically kept to the
Mix/Pass Tree when the system drops out of Play.
