5Adjust the faders, Encoders, [ON] buttons, and other controls of the channels 
selected in Step 3.
6To record EQ events, use the SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the EQ set-
tings of the currently-selected channel.
To select other channels, press the [AUTO] button to turn off the [AUTO] button indicator, 
then use the [SEL] buttons to select channels.
7To stop Automix recording, stop the timecode source, or move the cursor 
to the STOP button on the page, then press [ENTER].
A confirmation message appears asking whether you want to update the existing Automix 
data (i.e., keep the edits just recorded).
Move the cursor to YES and press [ENTER] to update the data, or move the cursor to NO 
and press [ENTER] to discard the edits and return to the previous condition. Even after you 
update the existing Automix data, unless you proceed to the next recording, you can still 
restore the previous data by moving the cursor to the UNDO button on the Main page and 
pressing [ENTER].Tip:  To punch channels out of recording, press the corresponding [SEL] buttons to change the 
button indicators from red to green.
Tip:  Scene and library recalls are always recorded, regardless of the selection in the OVER-
WRITE section and the [SEL] button status.
Tip:  
•When you stop Automix recording, all channels are disarmed, and the [SEL] button indi-
cators light up green.
•If you use the AUTO REC button instead of the REC button in Step 1, the AUTO REC button 
will continue to flash after you stop Automix recording. In this way, you can resume recording 
when you restart the timecode source. To cancel record ready mode, move the cursor to the 
AUTO REC button, then press [ENTER].
•If the Mix Update Confirmation preference is off on the Setup | Prefer3 page, the confirma-
tion window for updating the existing Automix data will not appear, and the edits just 
recorded will be retained. 
Note:  
•You can rerecord events as many times as you like. Remember, however, that unlike the first 
pass, on subsequent passes existing events for the currently-punched in parameter are over-
written.
•You can reduce the risk of overwriting important data by punching in and out only necessary 
parameters using the buttons in the OVERWRITE section.

Punching In & Out
You can modify part of a recorded Automix or add events to an Automix (Punch In & Out). 
You can punch in and out channels using the [SEL] buttons, or individual parameters using 
other controls.
Punch In & Out Using the [SEL] Buttons
Follow the steps below to punch channels in and out using the [SEL] buttons.
1Select parameters you wish to record in the OVERWRITE section.
2Move the cursor to the REC or AUTO REC button at the bottom of the page, 
then press [ENTER].
3Press the [AUTO] button. 
The button indicator lights up. At this time, make sure that the [SEL] button indicators for 
all channels (including the channels you want to punch in) are lit green.
4Start the timecode source.
The REC and PLAY buttons are highlighted and parameter event recording is armed. How-
ever, no events are yet recorded since no channels are selected.
5To punch in channels, press the corresponding [SEL] buttons.
The corresponding [SEL] button indicators light up red and the channels are placed in 
record mode.
6Adjust the controls of the selected channels.
7To punch out the channels, press the corresponding [SEL] buttons again.
8Stop the Automix.
A confirmation window regarding updating the Automix data appears.
Punching In & Out Individual Events
Even if you selected some parameters in the OVERWRITE section, you can punch in an 
individual parameter by following the steps below:
1In the OVERWRITE section, select the parameters you want to record.
2Move the cursor to the REC or AUTO REC button at the bottom of the page, 
then press [ENTER].
3Press the [AUTO] button on the top panel. 
The button indicator lights up. Make sure that the [SEL] button indicators for all channels 
are lit green.
4Start the timecode source.
The REC and PLAY buttons are highlighted and event recording is armed. However, no 
events are yet recorded since no channels are selected. Note:  If the punch-in channels already contain the parameter events selected in the OVER-
WRITE section, punching-in immediately overwrites the existing events. Be careful while 
selecting parameters in the OVERWRITE section so that you will not delete events you wish 
to retain.
Tip:  You can also select the recording channels first using the [SEL] buttons, start the timecode 
source, then select the desired parameters in the OVERWRITE section to punch in and out.

[SEL] Button Functions While the [AUTO] Button 
Indicator Is On
While the [AUTO] button indicator is lit, you can use the channel [SEL] buttons to turn the 
Automix function on and off, arm or disarm channels, or punch channels in and out.
The [SEL] button indicators operate as follows:
•Off.................................. Automix recording or playback disabled.
•Green............................. Automix stopped or playing
•Orange........................... The channel is armed.
•Red................................. Automix recording in progress
•Flashing red.................. Edit Out mode set to TAKEOVER, and fader events continue 
recording after punch out
•Flashing green.............. Edit Out mode set to TAKEOVER, and faders are disabled after 
punch out
Playing Back an Automix
As long as the Automix function is enabled, the Automix function will chase the incoming 
timecode and play and stop the current Automix accordingly.
You can stop playback manually by moving the cursor to the STOP or ABORT button on 
the Automix | Main/Memory page, then pressing [ENTER].
Playback will stop automatically if the DM1000 receives no timecode for a while, if the 
DM1000 receives MIDI Stop commands (only when the MIDI CLOCK source is selected), 
or if the end of the Automix data is reached.
While the [AUTO] button indicator is lit, the [SEL] button indicators light up green on the 
channel strips available for Automix playback. When Automix playback for an individual 
channel is disabled, its [SEL] button indicator turns off.
During playback, faders move in accordance with recorded fader events (as long as the cor-
responding layer and Fader mode is selected). You can disable fader movement by turning 
off the MOTOR button on the Fader 1 or 2 page (see page 205).
You can view fader events on the Fader 1 or 2 page (see page 205), and other events on the 
corresponding pages. Recorded events of the currently-selected channel are reflected in the 
SELECTED CHANNEL section controls and displays.
Note:  If the current effects type is different from that used when the effects parameter edits 
were recorded, the parameter edits will not be played back. However, they are not deleted. 
When you rerecord effects parameter edits from the beginning, it is recommended that you 
delete the existing effects events offline.

Automix Main Page
This section explains the Automix Main page. This page enables you to set the basic Auto-
mix parameters and record and play back Automixes. To locate the Automix | Main page, 
press the DISPLAY ACCESS [AUTOMIX] button repeatedly until the page appears.
AFREE
The amount of free Automix memory remaining is displayed here in kilobytes, as a per-
centage, and by a bar graph.
BSIZE
The size of the current Automix and the size of any Automix data in the undo buffer are 
displayed here in kilobytes.
CTIME REFERENCE
The timecode source and frame rate specified on the Time Ref page (see page 188) are 
also displayed here.
DINT START TIME
This parameter sets the start time of the DM1000 internal timecode generator in hours, 
minutes, seconds, frames, and subframes. Move the cursor to a digit you wish to change, 
and rotate the Parameter wheel or press the [INC]/[DEC] buttons to modify the value. 
Press the [ENTER] button to reset the currently-selected digit to “00.”
EOFFSET
This parameter specifies an offset relative to the external timecode source in hours, min-
utes, seconds, frames, and subframes. Specify a “+” value to move events forward rela-
tive to the incoming timecode. Specify a “–” value to move events backwards relative to 
the incoming timecode. Press the [ENTER] button to reset the currently-selected digit 
to “00.”
FUPDATE
This button determines the fate of events that exist beyond the point at which rerecord-
ing is stopped.
When the TO END button is on, the DM1000 erases all events (that exist beyond the 
point at which rerecording is stopped) for parameters that have been edited during the 
current pass. This function is useful when you want parameters to remain the same right 
through to the end of the Automix.
When the TO END button is off, existing events are left as they are.
