New CD Player Time Display
To help you locate audio for the CD Capture feature
(Page 12), the VS-2480’s CD Player ( Owner’s Manual Page
353) now shows the current playback time in two ways:
• <A> (“Absolute” time) —shows the amount of time
since the start of the CD.
• <P> (“Program” time) —shows the time since the start
of the current track.
Multiple Project Automixes
With Version Two, each project can store up to nine separate, alternate Automixes, any
one of which can be loaded at any time. With multiple Automixes available, you can:
•develop the perfect automated mixdown through multiple versions with the ability
to return to an earlier version at any time by simply re-loading it.
• try out several Automix approaches to a project and pick the one you like best.
•Automix the same project in different ways for different uses.
About F3 (ERASE)
When you erase Automix data in Version Two, you’re erasing the currently loaded
Automix data. All of the nine saved Automixes remain intact and can still be loaded.
Saving an Automix
1. Create the Automix—see Chapter 26 of the VS-2480 Owner’s Manual for details.
2. Hold down SHIFT and press AUTOMIX to display the AUTOMIX screen.
3. Press F4 (SAVE)—the AUTOMIX PATTERN SAVE screen appears. It shows the
nine memory locations into which Automixes (or Automix “patterns”) can be saved.
4. Highlight the memory location into which you want to save the current Automix.
5. Press F5 (OK)—the VS-2480 asks “Save Automix Pattern?”
6. Press ENTER/YES to proceed or EXIT/NO to cancel the save.
Naming an Automix
To name a saved Automix, highlight it and press F1 (NAME). To learn how to use the
VS-2480 naming tools, see Page 73 in the Owner’s Manual .
If you select a location that already contains an Automix, the Automix you’re saving
replaces the one that’s already stored there.
