On one hand, AutoTouch+ is a relatively simple system to use, on the other
hand it has tremendous depth. Creating a system that has both of these at-
tributes is not easy. In addition, when such a large amount of functionality is
available, it is difficult to define every single transition from one mode or state
to another in a precise and dictated way. There are two reasons for this:
• No two mixers will mix the same way. While one will want a feature to
work this way, another equally proficient mixer will want it to work an-
other way.
• Even the same mixer will want different functionality at different times
within the mix process or based on different types of projects.
There is no right or wrong way to implement many of the functions in Auto-
Touch+. There are just different ways. So in answer to the above, there is a
large number of options that affect the specific functionality of very specific
modes. In total, the option set defines the specific ways in which the system
will work. Each individual option, however, allows the system to have another
nuance that allows the mixer to best do his or her work, in a creative and ef-
ficient manner.
to manage them all. When a mixer steps up to the console they need to be
confident that the system will work in a predetermined way. In other words,
they need to have ALL of the options set to a state that they have already pre
set for their specific needs of the moment. AutoTouch+ offers a system of
Mix management where each mixer can have their own unlimited number of
options sets, known as User Files.
Options may be accessed. All of the mix options reside in one convenient
options dialog box which is accessed by clicking the 'Options...' button of
the 'AutoTouch+' window.
When you click the 'Options...' button, the tabbed Options Dialog window
will open. It will be set to the page where it was last left, so the options dialog
tab page is said to be 'sticky.'
