When the TO END button is on, the way in which fader events are processed depends 
on the currently-selected Fader Edit mode and Edit Out mode. The following table 
shows how the faders operate when the Fader Edit mode is set to Absolute.
If the Fader Edit mode is set to Relative, and the Edit Out mode is set to either Takeover 
or Off, the fader will remain at a position relative to its position when recording was 
stopped right through to the end of the Automix.
GEDIT OUT
This parameter sets the Edit Out mode: TAKEOVER, RETURN, or OFF (both buttons 
are off ). This mode determines how rerecorded fader moves align with existing fader 
data at the punch out point.
Fader data includes Input Channel levels, Bus Out master levels, Aux Send master levels, 
the Stereo Out level, and Remote layer faders.
TO END Return Takeover or Off
OFFAt the point at which recording is stopped, the fader 
returns to the position specified by the existing fader 
data, at the speed specified by the Time parameter 
on the Fader1 or 2 page.At the point at which recording is stopped, the fader 
remains at the same position until the next fader 
event in the existing data is encountered.
ONAt the point at which recording is stopped, the fader 
returns to the position specified by the existing fader 
data, at the speed specified by the Time parameter 
on the Fader1 or 2 page. All subsequent events are 
erased. The fader remains at that position through to 
the end of the Automix.At the point at which recording is stopped, all subse-
quent events are erased so that the fader remains at 
that position right through to the end of the Auto-
mix.

The following table shows how faders move in each Edit Out mode. You can set the 
Return Time (time required by Input and Output Channel faders to return to the pre-
viously-recorded position) on the Fader1 or 2 page (see page 205).
HFADER EDIT
This parameter determines how fader moves are rerecorded (it has no effect during the 
first recording pass). You can select ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE.
In Absolute mode, fader moves are rerecorded as absolute values (existing fader data is 
erased). In Relative mode, fader moves are rerecorded relative to the existing fader data.
Fader data includes Input Channel level, Bus Out master levels, Aux Out master levels, 
the Stereo Out level, Remote layer faders.
The following table explains Fader Edit mode operation (TO END: off. Edit Out: off ).
ITOUCH SENSE
If you set this parameter to TOUCH, you can punch in and out the parameters selected 
in the OVERWRITE section by just touching the fader knobs. If you set this parameter 
to LATCH, you can only punch in the parameters (punch-out is disabled). If the Fader 
Touch Sense parameter is set to “DISABLED,” on the Setup | Prefer2 page, this section is 
grayed out.
Off Return Takeover
At the punch out point, the fader 
remains at the same position until the 
next fader event in the existing data 
occurs.At the punch out point, the fader 
returns to the position specified by the 
existing fader data, at the speed speci-
fied by the Time parameter on the 
Fader1 or 2 page.At the punch out point, recording con-
tinues until the fader position intersects 
the existing fader data. If you are still 
touching the fader knob at the actual 
punch out point, the fader is disabled 
until you release it.
In this example, punch out was per-
formed by pressing the [AUTO] button, 
and the fader was moved manually 
between the specified punch out point 
and actual punch out point.
Absolute Relative
Fader edits are recorded as absolute values and 
existing fader data between the punch in and out 
points is erased.Fader edits are rerecorded relative to the existing 
fader data.

JOVERWRITE section
This section enables you to select parameters to be recorded on the first pass, and rere-
corded (i.e., overwritten) on subsequent passes. You can select or deselect these param-
eters while recording is in progress (see page 190).
KAUTOMIX ENABLED/DISABLED
This parameter enables or disables the Automix. When the parameter is set to DISABLE, 
you cannot record or play back an Automix. If the ESAM function is enabled, you can-
not enable the Automix.
LNEW
Move the cursor to the NEW button, then press [ENTER] to create a new Automix. 
When you create a new Automix, a Scene recall event to recall the current Scene (i.e., the

this event so that you will be able to recall another Scene.)
MUNDO
Move the cursor to this button, then press [ENTER] to undo various Automix opera-
tions (Undo function). When you record new events in an Automix, or when you per-
form an offline edit, the current Automix data is copied to the Undo buffer. You can 
retrieve the data from the buffer by moving the cursor to the UNDO button and press-
ing [ENTER] while Automix is stopped. You can also cancel the Undo operation (Redo 
function).
NINSERT
Move the cursor to this button, then press [ENTER] to insert the current mix parame-
ters into the current Automix data. This is useful when you want to quickly replace the 
Automix data in the specified range (e.g., to replace dialogs). Refer to “Inserting Mix 
Parameters into Automix” on page 193
OAUTO REC
Move the cursor to the AUTO REC button, then press [ENTER] to place the DM1000
