Move the cursor to the OVERWRITE area.
Turn the FADER button on, and the other
buttons (CH ON, PAN, EQ) off.
The FADER, CH ON, PAN, and EQ buttons in the
OVERWRITE area select the events that will be
recorded in the automix. When a button is on
(highlighted), the corresponding type of events
will be recorded in the automix. Each button cor-
responds to the following events.
• FADER.......... Fader operations of each channel
(1–8/STEREO), and operations of
the [RTN 1]/[RTN 2] controls
• CH ON ........ [ON] key operations of each
channel (1–8/STEREO/RTN 1/
RTN 2)
• PAN ............. Pan operations of each channel
• EQ................ EQ operations of each channel
Tip!
• Recall operations for scene memories and the vari-
ous libraries can be recorded in automix regardless
of the settings of the OVERWRITE buttons.
• If you want to record the AUX bus 1–6 send levels,
or to record operations of faders 1–8 in the REMOTE
screen, turn on the FADER button. If you want to
record operations of [ON] keys 1–8 in the REMOTE
screen, turn on the CH ON button.
Move the cursor to the REC button in the
display, and press the [ENTER] key.
The REC will blink. This indicates that automix is
in record-ready mode. When automix is in
record-ready mode, the top panel [AUTOMIX]
key will blink red.
In the MIXING LAYER section, press the
RECORDER [1-8] key.
Now faders 1–8 will function as channel faders
for monitor channels 1–8. If you want to record
fader operations of monitor channels 9–16, press
the RECORDER [9–16] key.
Use the [SEL] keys to select the channel
whose fader operations you want to
record.
When automix is in record-ready mode, you can
use the [SEL] keys to select the channels that will
be recorded. The [SEL] keys will blink for the
selected channels.
Tip!
If you press a blinking [SEL] key once again, the selec-
tion will be cancelled.
