Abs Win Mode; Abs Wout Mode - Euphonix CS3000 Operation Manual

Section 7: Automation

ABS WIn Mode

SIDE NOTE:
The dB value of a fader in Abs
write mode now appears below
the UF or LF number in the Pass
Control screen thus allowing for
very accurate automation moves.

ABS WOut Mode

7 - 16
The three functions are defined as follows:
WIn: The object's current position at punch-out is written back to the mix
start.
WOut: The object's current position at punch-out is written out to the mix
end.
WThru: The object's current position at punch-out is written from mix start
to end.
WIn is useful for writing levels, pans and mutes from a particular point in the
mix back to the start. For example, if an instrument must be muted for the first
verse of a song, you want to write a mute from the head to the point at which
the instrument comes in. We will assume for this example that this mute has
not previously been automated, and that you will have manual control over it.
Press the desired [ON] object key to unmute any signal. After selecting the ON
key and the [WIn] key, play tape, observe the Pass Rec light come on, then
punch-in on the selected block (the selected mute LED will blink). Press the
appropriate [ON] key to write the mute. After a moment, punch out using the
block attention key. With WIn status, the mute will be written to the block
from the punch-out point back to the head. This can be observed in the Pass
Control screen.
As mentioned earlier, a write-out is automatically performed on every initial
pass, that is, the first time you automate an object. Subsequent write-outs can
be done using the Write Out feature. If the WOut key is lit when you punch
out, the level at punch-out is written all the way to the end of the mix. This is
very useful for easy pickup of faders. For example if you punch in and move the
fader up, then wind back and play back the move, the fader will be at the new
higher move position. This level was written to the end of the mix making it
simple to punch in again and carry on the mix.
