Activate preselector keys FDR REC, MUTE, KNOB, SWIT (or press the ALL/CLR
key) and press automation mode WRITE (make sure you have TOUCH RECORD
active in order to record any changes against timecode).
faders into write mode (make sure you have TOUCH RECORD active in order
to record any changes against timecode).
<Optio­n> There is an optional setting (see menu 'Automation Options...', 'Control
Modes', 'Mode Enable sets non-selected to READ', also refer
5.21.2) which determines whether the non-selected functions (e.g. MUTE,
KNOB, SWIT) will change their state to READ or whether they don't change
their automation state when putting the faders into WRITE.
Select FDR REC as preselector (section ENABLE MODES) and create a gang of
the channels that should change their automation mode to Write. Then toggle
through the automation modes by pressing the AUTO MODE key on any of
the linked channels several times, until the automation state indication on the
TFT says 'W' (make sure you have TOUCH RECORD active in order to record
any changes against timecode).
Basically you just have to switch off the RECORD key. This will prevent all
upcoming touches from switching into recording. To rehearse some settings,
you will normally have HOLD on, since you want your settings to stay when
you physically un-touch an object. In this way you will see all objects you
changed in order to rehearse some alternate settings indicating 'held' state,
either by underlined values (Vistonics module) or in the fader case by the
displayed dB values. You can now stop the tape, rewind, and all objects will
stay 'held'. Now you activate the HOLD key from the preselectors of the sec-
tion GLOBAL RECORD (PUNCH-IN / PUNCH-OUT) and play the tape again.
When you press the PUNCH-IN or PUNCH-OUT key, you will now put all your
rehearsed objects in and out of recording.
No­te If objects are moved in rehearse mode, you will always hear what you see.
However, if you want to switch over and hear the underlying original mix,
simply activate the PLAY MIX key.
Select WRITE TO...: LEVEL MATCH. Please note that these WRITE TO... keys
will only affect automated objects after they are punched out. This is to pre-
vent unwanted punch-outs while you are still touching an object and doing
corrections. In order to move e.g. a fader manually over the point of level
match and make it punch-out upon level match, you need to punch-out first
and afterwards touch the fader again 'without the automation detecting the
touch'. This means you will have to hold down the AUTO MODE modifier key
when touching the fader again. Now you can move the fader towards the point
of expected level match. As soon as this level is reached, this fader will stop
recording.
There is also an alternate way of suppressing the detection of the touch:
Switch TOUCH RECORD off and then touch the fader, followed by a manual
movement over the point of matching levels.
