A Note on Automation Safe
Automation safe should be used when you want to isolate a
particular channel from automation – for example – to audition
rideswithout“ghting”existingautomationdataorwithout
“printing” the rides if channels are still in write enabled.
Please note that when the console boots, automation safe is
engagedbydefault.Ifyouwishtoautomateachannelyoumustrst
press the automation safe switch (in the select mode panel) and then
turn off automation safe from each channel you wish to automate.
Note that all select mode layers are stored and function
simultaneously. By toggling the select mode switches in
conjunctionwiththelargegreenchannelselectswitchesitis
possible to obtain rapid control of SIP safe, DAW record enable,
select, unity and automation safe channel settings.
All select mode layers are stored even after a power down, so
remembertoclearthemmanuallyifthenextsessionrequiresa
different set-up.
