Starting Again - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

The Mix System
For example, a channel has a series of cuts, of which one uncut has been written in
error. To overwrite one event without the risk of spoiling any subsequent data, prime
both MATCH and PLAY before pressing the Cut. At the moment you wish the Cut to
remain cut (instead of uncutting), press the Cut switch. Note that you can do this at
any time after the cut that you want to extend has started to play through. The system
will overwrite the original uncut command, and when the next cut command is
remembered, that Cut will drop out of Record into Replay. All subsequent cuts/uncuts
will remain unaltered.
An alternative method of editing switch automation data is provided by the Trim Mix
facility (see Page 5-79).

Starting Again

If at any stage you decide to scrap the mix passes created so far, hit the CLEAR AUTO
button on the front panel. If the automation system is enabled when you do this (ie.
the AUTO button is lit), the entire desk will drop into Absolute, enabling you to begin
mixing again straight away. Note that the same effect may be achieved by means of
the MIX-DESK/Project/Settings/Clear function (see Section 2).
Each time that the automation system is enabled, a 'Pre-Enable' snapshot is taken of
the levels (faders) and positions (switches) of all the console's automated objects. You
can always get back to where you started from by stabbing on the Do Pre box (next to
the Enable box) in the Automation menu (see opposite). Once again, faders will
switch to Absolute, ready for a new mix.
