Realtime Punching of Automix Data

You can re-record sections of your automated mix by punching in new Automix data on
any Automix tracks that are set to Write mode.
If you want to redo a section of automation at the very beginning of the project, use the
recording procedure described on Page 328 and press STOP where you want the newly
recorded automation to end.
Merging New and Old Automix Data
When you insert new Automix data by punching in on an
Automix track, the AFTER PUNCH OUT parameter on the
AUTOMIX screen lets you determine what happens to
parameter values after you punch out. When you set it to:
•
•
Set AFTER PUNCH OUT to Return when you want to insert some Automix changes
without affecting the rest of your automation data. Set it to Keep when you want the
punch-in to change parameter values for the remainder of the project.
When you set AFTER PUNCH OUT to Return, the RETURN TIME parameter helps
smooth the transition between the punch's final parameter values and those already
recorded after the punch ends. You can set RETURN TIME to a value between 0ms and
1000ms—lower settings make transitions more abrupt.
If you decide at a later time that a punch-out transition is too noticeable, you can use
the GRADATION Automix editing operation to smooth it out.
Automix offers two different ways to punch—you can use either method. The idea is to
choose the method that requires the fewest button-presses for what you're doing:

AUTOMIX STATUS Button Punching

This punching method works best when you're punching bits and pieces of different
Automix tracks as the project plays.
Make sure that the AUTOMIX STATUS button for each Automix track you don't want
to punch is green so you don't accidentally erase its data as you punch on other
Automix tracks.
