10.2 Getting Started with Automation
To try and make it easier for you to get started with the automation, here is a step-by-step description of what you
have to do.
It is assumed you have already created a balance for the first moment of the mix.
Touch New Mix
Mix is now Online, all WRITE ENABLES are ON, all faders are in WRITE mode, and ON STOP will Write to End.
Locate the transport to a suitable time before the start of audio (approximately 10 seconds).
Start Timecode
Press the Play button on the mixing console or the editing console. Now you may make mixing moves, while the
computer writes them against the current timecode.
Stop Timecode
Press the Stop button when you are ready. If you have Auto Read checked (highly advisable), you can go into Play
and hear your mix. If you do not want to keep any of the mix, you may simply put the same channels back into Write
mode and repeat the procedure.
If you have something of value, please save it now.
Save Mix
It is a good idea to save your mix immediately if it has any value whatsoever. This allows recovery from accidents of
all types.
The first time you save it might be a good idea to use normal save (the SAVE MIX button), so that you start with a
sensible name.
If youre in a hurry, use SPEED SAVE. It will save your mix with the next available number.
