Recording the Mixer Settings, Method 1
(Snapshot)
Mixer settings recorded with Auto Mix can be record-
ed directly to markers. This method is known as tak-
ing a Snapshot. When you move to that marker, the
mixer settings that were recorded will be reproduced.
For example, this is convenient when you want the
intro and ending to have different volume levels or
different effect send levels for guitar parts during
intros or solos.
1. Move to the time location where you wish to
record the auto mix.
2. Confirm that Auto Mix mode is on.
