A Group Master may be automated just like any other control. The group slaves follow the group master. Automation data is only written by the Group Master. Any group slave that is removed from a Grouping Automated Controls It is possible to create a group containing controls that have existing dynamic automation moves. In this case, the mix moves of the group slaves are maintained while following the overall moves of the Hierarchical Groups Simply put, hierarchical groups are "groups of groups" and can be very powerful mixing tools. Hierarchical groups have Master Groups and Slave • Creating a group containing controls that have existing dynamic automation. • Automating the Group Master. • Automating group slaves. • Removing slaves from an automated group. • Automation of hierarchical groups. group no longer follows any mix moves written by the Group Master. However, it continues to read its own mix moves. Any group slave may be individually automated just like any other control. It reads its own moves, which would be offset by the moves of the Group Master. Group Master. Essentially, this is using the movements of the group master to trim the moves of the group slaves. It should be noted that this does not actually write Trim data to the group slaves. Groups which operate the same way as Master and Slave controls in non-hierarchical groups. Hierarchical groups are set up in the GROUPING LAYER section of the ST LINK/GROUPING display. TASCAM DM-24 Automation 35
