4 - Operation : Automating Library Recall Automating Library Recall The DM-3200 automation system is capable of including library recall events as part of an automated mix. These are treated by the automation system as Switch Events. All DM-3200 libraries support automated recall: • Snapshot • EQ • Compressor/expanders • Gate • Effects Because there may be differences between control settings recalled by a library and those being played back by the automation system, below are some important things to keep in mind in order to avoid unexpected behavior. The basic rule is that a mix event (library recall or dynamic mix move) only has priority until another mix event (library recall or dynamic mix move) is played back. Writing Library Recall Events Over Existing Static Control Positions When a library recall event is written by the automa- library recall, the control will Revert to its Initial Sta- tion system which affects controls in Static mode, the tus, not its position after the library recall. library recall switch event becomes dynamic mix data. However, the controls themselves remain in Static mode with their Initial Status unaffected. In this case, if a dynamic mix move is written after a If a library is recalled which affects controls in Static mode without the library recall event being written, the controls will update their static positions as they had been directly adjusted. Combining Library Recall With Dynamic Mix Moves Dynamic mix moves are treated in a way similar to will snap to the positions recalled by the library then continuous data by the DM-3200 automation system. snap to reading previous dynamic mix moves as the Library recall events are instantaneous snapshots. If a timecode position crosses the previous data. While library recall occurs while the automation system is this can create some interesting effects when used reading dynamic mix moves, the affected controls purposely, it could take you by surprise. 34 TASCAM DM-3200 Automation Guide
