Real Time Mix Editing5.1 Manual WriteThis will be the most common way to edit previously written mix moves.This technique is similar to punching in and out of record on a multi-trackwhen doing an overdub.· Channels will already be in read mode since theywill be reading mix moves from the automationsoftware.· Be sure AUTO READ is checked in the AutomationSetup screen of the TM-D4000. This will automaticallyswitch write-enabled channels to read mode whenthe recording is stopped.1. Write enable the channel parameters you wish towrite in the Automation Items window of thesoftware.2. Press the WRITE key in the Automation section ofthe TM-D4000, then confirm the selection by pressing ENTER. The Writeindicator on the mixer should be flashing.3. Play the recording a comfortable amount of time before the placeyou wish to edit mix moves. The moving faders of the TM-D4000 will befollowing the mix moves previously written.4. When it is time to begin writing new mix moves, put the desiredchannel(s) into write mode by pressing the channel’s SEL key. As soon asthe SEL key is pressed, the channel will begin writing mix moves, erasingmoves that were previously written during that section of the recording.5. When the end of the section to be edited is reached, simply stop therecording to “punch out”. All channels will automatically switch to readmode when the recording is stopped since the Auto Read function isselected.6. Another way to punch out is to press the READ key in the Automationsection of the mixer, then press All to select read mode for all channels.This way you can continue to listen to the mix after the automation edit.7. It is also possible to select read mode by pressing the READ key, thenpressing an individual channel’s SEL key to switch it to read mode. Thisallows some channels to be punched out while other channels continuewriting. As long as a master mode indicator is flashing it is possible toswitch between modes in this way with a single key press, then use thechannel SEL keys to punch into write or out to read modes.· As many channels as you need can be put into the Write or Readmodes in this way with more channels added at any time during a mixpass. However, remember that this is a dynamic mix automation systemand you have the ability to concentrate on a few channels or just onechannel at a time, then going on to other channels. Just likeoverdubbing.16
