Mixing and Automix

There are three basic steps to making a multitrack recording:

•

Setup and initial tracks

•

Overdubbing

•

Mixdown

Each step is vital in order to produce a satisfactory recording, but the most 
difficult one for most engineers is the mixdown. The musicians have 
finished their work. They have played their instruments and sung their 
vocals. All that raw material is stored on your multitrack recorder, waiting 
to be turned into a perfect final mix.

To assist you with this difficult task, the 02R has a fully-featured on-board 
automix system. It memorizes fader position changes, switches individual 
channels on or off, adjusts the EQ or pan positions, and changes the 
auxiliary sends—all based on timecode. It can also recall scene memories 
and programs from the EQ library, effects library, dynamics library, and 
channel library.

This allows you to record an entire mixing session, and then edit the 
individual channel settings in multiple passes until you have achieved 
perfection. You can punch-in to fine tune a specific parameter or you can 
use one of the event editors to adjust the timecode position of a channel 
setting or scene change. You can easily create a mix that would be virtually 
impossible to achieve on a standard analog mixer.

The 02R has a current automix buffer and 16 automix memories. There is 
also an undo buffer. Only the current mix can be played back and recorded. 
You can store the current mix in any of the 16 automix memories.
