D950 Digital Mixing System
Automation Control Group Masters and Members are automated in the same way as all
other channels. The Control Group function is active during dynamic
automation.
The Mix Start Snapshot keeps the Control Group data. The existence of
the Control Groups in mixes ensures that the audio for the members be-
haves in the same way as it would in a non-automated environment.
It is not possible to edit or to unlink the Control Groups in the automation
during a running mix, i.e. the current mix pass needs to be finished, and
"keep changes" done before editing may be performed. The Control Group
edit process itself is not automated.
Automation modes, as they are set by the CGM, are propagated (or
"transmitted") to the Control Group Members. "Touch" status is propa-
gated to the Control Group Members as well.
The automation data, as propagated to the Control Group Members, is
stored within each Member's data stream in such a way that, if a Group is
disbanded, the members will always play back all of their automated data.
