5.10.2 Extend Back To:
The choice of Mix Pass Extend Back To: function determines where the
Read Mix Data-to-Record Data transition takes place. In essence, the concept
is as follows:
‘Take the last recorded value and extend it back to: _____________!’
The blank can be filled in with one of two Extend Back To: locations:
• Punch In: Extend the Last Recorded Value back to the punch in location
• Begin: Extend the Last Recorded Value back to the specified Begin Time.
These locations are also known as Extend Back To: Functions.
Note Unlike other automation systems, the transition from Read Mix Data to Record
Data does not necessarily have to take place at the punch-in location.
Extend Back To: buttons The Mix Pass Extend Back To: buttons determine the point at which the tran-
sition from Read Mix Data to Record Data will take place. As noted above,
there are two different Extend Back To: functions. The selected function
button will illuminate when that Extend Back To: function is active. Only
one function can be active at a time.
Buttons for Extend Back To: functions are located in the Mix Pass section
of the ACU window.
The two Extend Back To: functions behave as follows:
• Punch In: The Last Recorded Value (typically the value at the time of
the punch out) will be extended back to the punch in point. At the punch
in point, the Read Mix Data will transition to the Record Data.
• Begin: The Last Recorded Value will be extended back to the user-
specified Begin Time. All previously recorded values between the Last
Recorded Value (typically Punch out) and the Begin Time will be erased.
The Begin Time is defined in three different ways:
- Beginning of Mix: The Last Recorded Value will be extended back to
the Begin Time of the Active Mix.
- Beginning of Time: The Last Recorded Value will be extended back
to the first possible timecode location (i.e. 00:00:00.00).
- Fixed…: The Last Recorded Value will be extended back to a ‘fixed’
user-specified Begin Time. See Setting a Fixed Begin Time below.
