The Mix System

Mix Options

In addition to the choice of Absolute and Trim write statuses, a number of other mix
options are available via the Fader Status pop-up menu (see opposite).
To activate any of the following functions, you can either stab on the relevant box or
press the appropriate hardware button located on the computer front panel (also see
opposite).

Status Lock

This feature allows the current selection of fader write statuses and Fader Status pop-
up options to be stored, so that each time faders return to write, they will do so under
the same conditions.
With FADER STATUS LOCK not selected, each time you put a fader into write, the Use
Abs/Trim, Insert Mixing On/Off, Renull On/Off,Snap On/Off, Autoglide On/Off,
Immediate Pickup On/Off, Autotakeover On/Off and Preview On/Off conditions
(see below) are logged by the system.
When you turn FADER STATUS LOCK on, these conditions will be locked and
replicated each time you return a fader to write. Note that, with FADER STATUS
LOCK selected, you will be unable to select or deselect any of the above options either
from the front panel or the Fader Status pop-up. To modify the current store, turn
FADER STATUS LOCK off, select the required options, and briefly switch a fader or
faders to write under the new conditions. Now reselect FADER STATUS LOCK.
Note that this facility is not available in a first pass. Once set, the FADER STATUS
LOCK store will remain across mix passes and even if you load a previous mix from
disk. To clear the store, toggle the automation system off and on again with the AUTO
button.
Insert Mixing
The effect of having Insert Mixing on or off is described on Page 5-33.
