Real Time Mix Editing
5.3 Auto Manual
This mode automatically puts a channel into manual mode when a fader
is moved. This can be useful for experimenting with new mix moves
without erasing previous ones. Remember, manual mode does not write
mix moves, so these experiments will not be written to the automation
software. Also, when a channel is switched to manual mode, all the
parameters of that channel will stop reading mix moves. So if you
experiment with fader moves on a channel that has panning moves
written, the panning moves will stop playing back.
· Channels will already be in read mode since they will be reading mix
moves from the automation software.
1.Select AUTO MANUAL in the Fader Sense Mode
section of the Automation Setup screen on the TM-
D4000.
2.Play the recording a comfortable amount of time
before the place you wish to experiment with mix
moves. The moving faders of the TM-D4000 will be
following the mix moves previously written.
3.Begin moving the desired fader(s) when you wish
to begin experimenting with mix moves. The
channel will automatically switch to manual mode.
4.When the end of the experiment is reached,
simply stop the recording or switch back to read mode using the READ
and ALL keys for all channels or the READ and SEL keys for individual
channels.
· In this mode Auto Read will not switch all channels to Read Mode
when the recording is stopped, allowing further experimentation when the
recording is started again. It is necessary to manually switch back to
Read Mode when desired.
NOTE: Since Auto Write and Auto Manual will cause a channel to go into
Write or Manual mode when a fader is moved, turn these functions off
before the final mixdown. If a fader is accidentally moved with one of
these functions on, that channel will stop playing back mix moves, and in
the case of Auto Write, that fader will begin erasing mix moves.
