Updating Mix Moves6.1 Adjusting POD SettingsUpdate mode provides access to some of the more powerful andimportant features in the dynamic automation software. Using UpdateMode it becomes possible to adjust POD settings for a channel whilereading fader moves, add switch events without replacing existing onesand change the overall level of a channel for a section of the recordingor the entire mix while retaining already written mix moves.During the process of mixing it is common practice to make adjustmentsto EQ, Aux. Sends, Panning, etc. while listening to other mix parametersbeing read. In this way we can more accurately make the critical sonicjudgements required during a mixdown. (NOTE: Update Mode must beused for this purpose since Read Mode accepts mix moves only from theautomation software, not from the mixer’s controls.)By following the steps below it is possible to make changes to the staticsettings of one parameter (EQ for example) while listening to dynamicmoves being read by other parameters (fader, panning, etc.)1. In the Automation Items window of the automation software, uncheckWRITE ENABLE for all parameters.2. In the case of EQ it can be useful to store the pre-adjustment setting inan EQ library in case the original setting is preferred over the adjustedsetting.3. Select Update Mode for the channel(s) you wish to make adjustmentsto by pressing UPDATE in the AUTOMATION Section of the TM-D4000, thenselecting the desired channels using their SEL key. Update mode for achannel can also be selected while the recording is playing.4. While in Update Mode it is possible to freely adjust the desiredparameter while the recording is playing. If the recording ends or isstopped and the adjustment has not been completed, it is then necessaryto WRITE ENABLE only the adjusted parameter in the Automation Itemswindow of the software, select Write Mode on only the adjusted channelswith the recording stopped, then select Capture Initial Status under theEdit menu of the automation software. If it is more desirable to begin theadjustment again from the original setting, simply play the recordingagain and it will be restored. However, once Capture Initial Status hasbeen performed it will be necessary to recall the original setting from yourstored library. 19
