Saving Mixes - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

The Mix System

Saving Mixes

Remember that up to five mix passes may be held in RAM and, beyond use of the
Keep function (see Page 5-13), you will soon reach a stage where you need to save
your latest mix to hard disk. To do this, press the PROJECT SETTINGS button or select
MIX-DESK/Project/Settings. Select a tick for Automation data in the Save column
and hit Save. To speed up the operation you can preset the Save tick and subsequently
use the SAVE PROJECT button on the front panel. Note that this method also requires
Safe to be deselected for Automation data.
Additionally, you can use the Settings pop-up Auto function which, if selected,
automatically sets ready for saving with the SAVE PROJECT button, any Project File
elements that have changed since they were last saved.
Refer to Section 2 if you are uncertain about any of the above procedures. Note that
the mix saved is always the last updated pass you made, ie. the pass that is
highlighted in green in the Mix Pass list. To save a mix pass that is not the current mix,
use the Revert function to select the pass of your choice (see Page 5-13).
If you attempt to save a mix before rolling back, the system will force a rollback and so
save the latest mix you have held in RAM.
When you save a mix, using either the SAVE PROJECT button or Save in the Settings
menu, a QWERTY pop-up appears onto which you can type a mix name (see
opposite). Note that the QWERTY pop-up will come up with the name that mix had in
the Mix Pass list, but with the pass number incremented (ie. START 1 in the Mix Pass
list becomes START 2 on the QWERTY). Modify the name as required and hit END or
OK.
The name of the saved mix will appear in the Reference Mix box (see Page 5-13) above
the pass list, highlighted in green to show that this is the mix you will be updating on
your next pass.
Note that, when a mix is saved to disk, all the rollback points in that mix pass will be
discarded. See Page 5-17 for more on Rollback Points.
