Chapter 3 - Analogue Signal Flow
When the DAW is in Play, any fader movements on the console channels will be recorded in the MIDI tracks. The consequent
level changes will then be replicated when the automated tracks are replayed.
Note that for the automation to be replayed, the 16 MIDI channels must be in an automation mode that outputs
automation (such as Read in Pro Tools or Logic).
You will notice that the MIDI automation affects the analogue signals in the Matrix channels without moving the channel
faders.
Note that, while in DAW Focus mode, you cannot normally view the channel signal level in the meters. The Meters menu
the SSL soft key menu provides the option of locking the meters to the analogue channel levels regardless of the current
desk Focus mode, enabling the analogue channel signal level to be viewed while writing automation. See Page 43 for
more details.
