For example, MixMate may turn the audio level to full attenuation (i.e.
all the way down), but the fader has been left "full on" from a previous
pass. Suppose that you were to ENABLE the fader now to do a re-write
of the channel. As soon as you moved the fader the gain of the VCA
would jump up to meet the fader. PHANTOM FADERS and NULL
LEDs have been provided to avoid this situation.
The phantom fader on the screen always indicates the position of the real
fader.
The NULL LED is lit when the physical position of the fader corresponds
to the actual level of the VCA. Slide the fader down or up just until the
NULL LED comes on. This is the position where the phantom fader is
superimposed with the actual fader on the screen. You can now ENABLE
the fader to re-write the channel moves without any jump in level.
In WRITE MODE you may selectively rewrite (that is, replace) any fader
moves in any part of the song. Simply fast wind the tape to a point a few
seconds before the offending fader moves.Start the tape,then use the
phantom fader on the screen(and/or the NULL LEDs on
MixMate ) to help
you find what the actual VCA level is at that point in the song. Slide the
fader down or up just until the NULL LED comes on. Now the position of
the fader accurately reflects the level of the VCA. Then ENABLE the fader
(s) that you wish to rewrite, and enter the new moves. The faders may be
ENABLED before the tape is rolling if you prefer.
If the mix is particularly "busy", it may be difficult to lock on to a null
point since it keeps moving around. You may try watching the graphics
carefully and chasing the fader on the screen with the phantom before
enabling the channel.
As mentioned earlier, UPDATE MODE is useful for rescaling (or "off-
setting") fader moves without actually replacing them. Any moves made
in UPDATE MODE will be "added to" or "subtracted from" previous
moves. To UPDATE a track, once again shuttle tape to some place in the
song before the intended edit. Put
MixMate into UPDATE MODE by tap-
ping the MODE key until only the UPDATE LED is lit. Don't null the fad-
ers just yet. Decide what the nature of the update will be, whether you
intend to scale the track up or down. If you plan on boosting the level, you'll
want to start with the fader below center position. This will assure that you
have enough "throw" to move the fader upward. Likewise, if you plan on
scaling the track down, you'll want to start with the fader above center.
If you are not really sure, then just move the faders to approximately
center position . For the channels that you wish to update, use the ENA-
BLE keys to toggle from READ into UPDATE MODE. (Be sure that you
are not in MUTE MODE for now.)
