Chapter 9 Using automix This chapter explains the functions and operation of Automix, which automates realtime mixing operations. About automix What is automix? On the AW2816, operations of mixing parameters can be recorded in realtime, and then played back. This capability is called "automix." Scene recall operations, channel fader movements, and [ON] key operations etc. can be recorded in automix as the song progresses, allowing the mixdown to be completely automated. The currently-operated automix is called the "current automix." The contents of the current automix can be stored in one of sixteen special memory areas, and recalled at any time. Data for the sixteen automixes in memory is saved on the hard disk as part of the currently-selected song (the "current song"). What can be recorded in automix? The following operations can be recorded in automix. • Fader operations of each channel (including operations of the [RTN 1]/[RTN 2] controls) • AUX send operations of each channel • [ON] key operations of each channel • Pan operations of each channel • EQ operations of each channel • Scene memory and library recall operations • REMOTE screen fader 1-8 and [ON] key operations While the song plays back, the above operations can be recorded on the automix in realtime, or you can partially re-record specific operations by themselves. When automix is stopped, you can also edit the timing and values of individual recorded data events. How the automix is related to the song In general, automix operation is linked with the song. When you play back the song, the automix will also begin playing or recording, and when you stop the song, the automix will also stop. Although it is possible to stop only the automix while the song is playing, it is not possible to record or play back the automix while the song is stopped. Automix always begins at the Start Point of the song (the absolute time zero location). For this reason if you change the start point, the starting location of automix will change accordingly. If you want to change the start point, you should make this change before you record the automix. Start point = 00:00:00:00.00 Time code display (ABS) 00:00:00:00.00 Time display (ABS) 00:00:00:000 Song S 00:00:05:00.00 00:00:05:000 00:00:10:00.00 00:00:10:000 Automix 9 Using automix Start point = 00:00:05:00.00 Time code display (ABS) 00:00:00:00.00 00:00:05:00.00 Time display (ABS) -00:00:05:000 00:00:00:000 Song S 00:00:10:00.00 00:00:05:000 Automix Be aware that if you change the start point, automix cannot be recorded in the area earlier than the start point (absolute time zero).
