Clear Automation
Clear Automation deletes all automation passes leaving only an empty pass 0.
NOTE: Since this erases all automation, be careful before executing this command!
1. Press the Clear Automation key in Automation Panel Page 2.
2. Confirm at the bottom of the panel to clear automation.
Mix Offset
Normally, the current time display shows the absolute timecode from the beginning
of the tape. It can be useful to show a different time in the current time display. For
example, set the beginning of a song within the tape to 00:00:00:00 so the song time is
readily visible.
To offset the current mix against the incoming timecode:
1. Enter an offset value into the locate time display using the numeric keypad or
recall a Cue.
The entire time must be entered, beginning with frames. When the first numeric
key is pressed, the display clears to enter the new value.
A time can also be entered by recalling a Cue (see Cue Points on page 146).
2. Press the Store Locate key followed by the M/Offset key in Automation
Panel Page 1 to store the value in the locate time display.
Press the Store Current key to store the value in the current time display.
Save Mix
The mix can be saved from the eMix directory software on the System Computer. It is
faster, though, to use the dedicated Save Mix key in the center section to save the mix
and automation passes to disk. See Chapter 4: eMix Application for more detailed in-
formation on the file system.
