Trim; Safe; Off; Global Modes - Tascam SX-1 Reference Manual

Trim

During a mix there may be sections where there are
good mix moves on a control but the overall level of
that control needs to be raised or lowered while pre-
serving the existing moves.

Safe

Any control in Safe will only read existing static or
dynamic automation, regardless of the Global Mode.
Moving a control in Safe will not write any automa-

Off

Use this selection to turn a control's automation
functionality off. A control that is Off will neither
write nor play back automation data, regardless of
the Global Mode. However, moving a control that is
Off will affect its audio. Similarly to the Static Con-

Global Modes

There are three different Global Modes:

Global Write

Think of this mode as "automation-record-ready".
When Global Write is enabled, and the transport is
moving, all the controls that are in Auto will read
pre-existing automation data until they are moved.
Trim
During a mix, sometimes there are sections when a
control's mix moves are perfect but the overall level
needs to be raised or lowered.

tion data nor affect the audio passing through that
control.
troller State, the new, final resting position of the
control is in the project file, separate from the con-
trol's static position as stored in an individual mix
file.
As soon as you move a control, automation will
begin writing for that control, overwriting any pre-
existing data.
To change such a section's level without affecting its
contours (the peaks and valleys of the automation
data), use Global Trim Mode. The diagram below
illustrates how Trim will affect the pre-existing auto-
mation data when the controller's State is in Auto.
