TASCAM DM-3200 Automation Guide 7
Make the initial settings
7 Operate your recorder and navigate and oper-
ate the DM-3200 as you normally would dur-
ing a mix. You are not writing mix moves yet!
The DM-3200’s automation system stores con-
trol settings as you change them.
Store the current settings
8 Store the current mix data using the AUTO
FILES
display, and pressing the POD 2 switch
(
STORE AS).
Use the cursor keys, number keys,
CLR key,
and the data wheel and the
ENTER key to
name your mix.
See the Owner’s Manual section on libraries
for further details of naming and editing
library entries.
This automation data will be stored as part of
the current project (and will be time-stamped
for future reference).
Write some fader moves
9 Once you have the mix basically set up, write
some fader moves:
• With timecode running, press the
WRITE key.
• Touch a fader with your finger and move it up
or down.
• Release the fader when your mix move is com-
plete. When you release the fader, it automati-
cally returns to its previous setting.
• Rewind the recorder and play the section
again. The DM-3200 plays back the moves you
just wrote.
• You can press the
WRITE key, and touch and
move the faders to write new mix moves at
will.
Write some mute moves
10 Now write some Mutes (also called Switch
Events):
• With timecode running, press the
WRITE key.
• Press some
MUTE keys to change the mute set-
tings on and off.
• Rewind the recorder and play the sections
again. The DM-3200 plays back the Switch
Events you just wrote to the
MUTE keys (in
other words, the
MUTE indicators and status
will change in sync with the incoming time-
code).
