Recording Automix Data

You can record Automix data two ways:
•
•
You can use the two approaches for different parts of the same mix if you like.
In order to automate a parameter's value, its parameter group must be checkmarked in
the AUTOMIX screen's WRITING PARAMETER area—see Page 316.
If you're working on a project that you'll turn into an audio CD, you'll eventually cut
unwanted extra space off the front of the project. You can do this by trimming your
mastering tracks. However, if you plan to trim the project before recording your
mastering tracks, consider doing it before recording your Automix data so you don't
have to move the corresponding Automix data after cleaning up the front of the audio.

Realtime Automix Recording

Realtime Automix—Realtime Automix records changes you make to mix settings as
the project plays. This method captures every subtle change you make, and is the
best method to use when you're making constant adjustments to your parameter
values over the course of a project. You can also punch in new parameter value
changes in realtime.
Snapshot Automix—Snapshot Automix, as its name suggests, captures your mix
settings at a particular moment. Whenever the now line travels back to that
moment when Automix is turned on, the snapshot's settings are instantly recalled.
Snapshots are great for sudden changes to a mix—at the beginning of a solo, for
example, when a guitarist's level has to be made louder. You can smooth the
transition to a snapshot's settings using Automix GRADATION (Page 328).
