3 - Automation overview : Displays moves at will without having to manually enable Global Write or Global Trim on every pass. TRIM ALL When enabled, a Trim operation will be applied to all mix moves such as faders (but not switch moves) from the beginning of a mix to its end, regardless of the transport's position within the program. When timecode is stopped, trimmed events are created by using the latest trim difference (delta). When timecode is running, pre-existing moves are not modified as automation data. Note that if TRIM ALL is enabled, trimmed events are not recorded, and revert is not performed while timecode is running. AUTO REVERT When Auto Revert is enabled, a control smoothly matches back to its previous setting when you release it. When Auto Revert is disabled, you must manually punch out of automation recording by pressing the REVERT key, or by stopping the incoming timecode-the control will then smoothly match back to its previous setting. There are independent check boxes to enable Auto Revert for Write and Trim modes. NOTE It is possible to enable or disable Auto Revert during a mix pass. The new setting is applied to mix moves only. The following describes an example: With the WRITE indicator lit, and AUTO REVERT - WRITE disabled, move the faders. Now enable AUTO REVERT - WRITE, and move a different set of faders. These will revert automatically, but the first set will continue to write until you press REVERT. REVERT TIMES To the right of the Auto Revert check boxes are fields to enter Revert Times. The Revert Time is the amount of time (in seconds) it takes for a control to smoothly match back to its previous setting. There are fields to set an independent Revert Time for Write and Trim modes from 0.5 seconds to 10 seconds in 0.5 second increments. The ∞s setting in the Revert Time fields enables Write/Trim To End mode, which applies a Write or Trim operation from the point where automation recording began, all the way to the end of the mix. In the case of Write mode, this overwrites any existing mix data from the point where automation recording began, all the way to the end of the mix. In the case of Trim mode, this applies the Trim operation from the point automation recording began all the way to the end of the mix. Here are examples of instances where this would be useful: • There may be existing mix moves all the way through a song which need to be louder from halfway through the song until the song's end. Using the ∞s setting in the Trim Revert Time field allows you to perform this operation without the need to play the song all the way to the end in order to record the new mix data. • There may be existing mix moves all the way through a song, however, during the mixing process it is determined that a control should remain at one setting from a point within the song until the song's end. Using the ∞s setting in the Write Revert Time field allows you to perform this operation without the need to play the song all the way to the end in order to record the new mix data. NOTE AUTO REVERT WRITE (or TRIM) must be enabled for Write (or Trim) To End to work. A Write/Trim To End operation must be completed by stopping the timecode. Manually disabling Write or Trim mode while timecode is running will not perform a Write To End operation. If the REVERT TIME value is changed from the ∞s (infinity) setting to a non-infinite value (that is, anything else), and a Write (or Trim) To End operation is in progress, the controls start reverting immediately. CONTROL SENSE TIME OUT The DM-3200's faders are touch-sensitive, so the automation system knows when you have touched or released a fader, thus punching into or out of automation record. The POD controls, control surface keys and rotary encoders are not touch-sensitive. These controls must detect movement in order to know when to stop recording manual mix moves and start recording revert moves. The Control Sense Time Out value allows these controls to punch out of automation record automatically after the specified amount of time has passed without movement of the control. This field can be set from 0.5 seconds to 10 seconds in 0.5 second increments. Event recording restarts if the control is moved again. TIP A useful trick is to map the Auxiliary Sends to faders for touch-sensitive control, flipping encoders if necessary. AUTO FADE OUT TIME This field determines the duration of a linear fade written to the Master Fader when the AUTO FADE key is pressed. This field can be set from 0.5 seconds to 10 seconds in 0.5 second increments. 12 TASCAM DM-3200 Automation Guide
