Recording Automation

To record some automation (Mix 1, Pass 1)
Turn on the automation.
Select the Mix-tree and Mix/pass.
Arm the controls to be recorded by putting them into a Record mode.
The selected controls will be put in Scope. (See Automation Modes and Automation Scope
above).
Set controls to the required initial values.
Put the transport into play.
Timecode should start running on the Encore screen.
A Safety Snapshot will be taken of the settings of all controls on the console which can be
automated and of the automation modes they are in. This Safety Snapshot will be part of the new
Mix/Pass (in this case 1.1).
An Initial Snapshot will be taken of the settings of all armed controls (i.e. controls not in Isolate or
Play).
Move controls as required.
When the first control is touched and starts to Record, the Record/Pass counter on the Encore
screen will be incremented. In this case, when starting from new, the Record/Pass will be 1.1.
Stop the transport.
The Mix/Pass is now complete.
If Auto Keep is active the Mix/Pass will be added to the Mix/Pass Tree and the Play/Pass counter
will be updated.

Making further Mix/Passes

The procedure is very similar to that above, except that a New Mix does not need to be started
and when the transport is put into play, the moves made in the Mix/Pass shown in the Play/Pass
counter will be played back. Also, controls for which moves are now correct can be put into
Isolate or Play to prevent their moves being changed.

Using TO END

The TO END key is used to write the current settings of all controls in record (i.e. actually writing
data) to the end of the current Pass. This actually writes a single move to the Event list with the
current setting, and deletes all subsequent moves for controls in write. Other moves can be made
after a TO END.
TO END and Safety Nets
If the Safety Nets are active, then TO END will only affect the Pass up to the Safety Net End time.
Any moves after the Safety Net End time will not be affected. If the Safety Net End time has
already passed then TO END will have no effect.
All To End
All To End is used to write the current settings of all controls in record to the whole of the current
Pass. This is executed by holding down ALL/SCOPE and then pressing TO END.
All To End also respects Safety Nets, so if Safety Nets are active then only the portion of the
Pass between the Safety Net Start and End times will be affected.
