DM2000 Version 2—Owner’s Manual
AUTOMIX: This button is used to enable and disable the Automix function. It works in
unison with the AUTOMIX [ENABLE] button.
NEW: This button is used to create a new Automix. When a new Automix is created, a
Scene recall event to recall the current Scene (i.e., the last Scene recalled) is automatically
inserted at the start of the Automix. You can edit this event so that another Scene is recalled.
This initial Scene is important because it sets all the mix parameters how you’d like them at
the beginning of the Automix. Without it, mix parameters would remain the same as when
Automix playback was stopped.
UNDO: This button is used to undo various Automix operations. During each recording
pass, when a new Automix is created, when an Automix is recalled, when an offline edit is
performed, or when the Undo function is used, the current Automix data is copied to the
Undo buffer, from which it can be retrieved by pressing UNDO while Automix is stopped.
This button works in unison with the AUTOMIX [ABORT/UNDO] button.
INSERT: The INSERT button inserts the current Scene into the current Automix data. This
is useful when you want to quickly swap out a specified range of the Automix data, such as
a line of dialog.
See “Inserting Mix Parameters into Automix” on page 203 for more infor-
mation.
AUTO REC: This button works the same as the REC button except that it remains on when
Automix recording is stopped. It appears highlighted while Auto Record mode is on. It
works in unison with the AUTOMIX [AUTO-REC] button.
REC: This button is used to engage Record-Ready mode, in which Automix recording starts
automatically as soon as the specified timecode source starts. Unlike the AUTO REC button,
however, it’s turned off when recording is stopped. It flashes in Record-Ready mode, and is
highlighted during recording. This button can also be used to engage Automix recording
during playback. To do this, while the PLAY button is highlighted (i.e., during playback),
press the REC button (it flashes in Record-Ready mode). Then press the PLAY button to
start recording. This button works in unison with the AUTOMIX [REC] button.
PLAY: This button is used to start Automix recording and playback when the timecode
source is set to internal. When an external timecode source is selected, while the external
timecode is being received, recording and playback are started, and this button is turned on
automatically. If Automix is stopped by pressing the STOP or ABORT button, recording or
playback can be restarted by pressing this button so long as timecode is still being received.
This button can also be used in conjunction with the REC button to punch in recording
during Automix playback.
STOP: This button is used to stop Automix playback and recording. It appears highlighted
while Automix is stopped.
ABORT: This button is used to abort the current recording without updating the existing
Automix data. Automix recording can also be aborted by pressing the AUTOMIX
[ABORT/UNDO] button.
