If you do a lot of recording or make numerous edits
using functions such as Track Copy, the remaining
number of events may fall below 1000. When this
happens, you will not be able to continue recording
Automix data in realtime. Please refer to "About Events,"

Realtime Automix of Input
Faders
For a song that incorporates both recorded tracks as well as
additional sources, such as outputs from MIDI sound
modules, you may decide to automate both the input mix as
well as track mix. It doesn't matter which mixer you
automate first, and it is possible to simultaneously automate
both the Input Mixer and the Track Mixer. If you wish to
automate the Input Mixer, use the following steps:
1. Move to the location in the song where you wish to
record realtime Automix.
2. Confirm that Automix mode is on. The AUTOMIX
button should be lit.
3. Decide which input fader's movement you want to
record using Automix. While pressing [AUTOMIX],
press the Input SELECT button for the inputs you want
to automate so that they begin blinking.
4. Hold [SCENE] and press [REC]. The AUTOMIX
indicator blinks, showing Automix recording is enabled.
5. Make sure the FADER/MUTE indicator is set to "IN" for
Inputs. This assigns the physical faders to the Input
Mixer.
6. Adjust the faders for the beginning fader levels as
desired.
7. Press [PLAY] to begin recording Automix data.
8. While the song is playing, move the faders to adjust the
mix of your song as you like. New Automix data will
only be recorded for those faders that are moved during
song playback.
9. When the song is finished, press [STOP]. Automix
markers will appear in the Playlist display where
Automix data was created.
Automating the Master Stereo
Mix and Monitor Output
Just as it is possible to automate the Input Mixer and the
Track Mixer, you can also automate the master stereo mix as
well as the monitoring output level.
1. Move to the location in the song where you wish to
record realtime Automix.
2. Confirm that Automix mode is on. The AUTOMIX
button should be lit.
3. While pressing [AUTOMIX], press [EDIT/SOLO] so it
blinks, indicating Automix record is enabled for the
Master fader.
4. Hold [SCENE] and press [REC]. The AUTOMIX
indicator blinks and "AUTOMIX REC" flashes at the top
of the display to show Automix recording is enabled.
5. Adjust the Master fader and the MONITOR knob for the
beginning level as desired.
6. Press [PLAY] to begin recording Automix data.
7. While the song is playing, move the Master fader to
adjust the level of your song. Use the MONITOR knob to
make changes to the monitoring output level.
8. When the song is finished, press [STOP]. Automix
markers will appear in the Playlist display where
Automix data was created.

Automating Effect Returns

Just as it is possible to automate both the Input Mixer and the
Track Mixer, you can also automate the effect returns.

record realtime Automix.
2. Confirm that Automix mode is on. The AUTOMIX
