AutomationSELECTING PROTECTIONEach component which is included in the automation can be protected globally, on a per-channel basis, or individually. Thisis done in the Protection Mode page, accessed by pressing the Protect softkey.When you update a previously stored Mix, three different data protection modes become available: Auto, Safe andManual.AutoSafe(Red fader status LED) Automation data is replayed and can be over-written, either using the fader touchsensor (motor faders on), or by pressing the fader status button.(Green fader status LED) Existing fader and switch automation data can be protected with the Safe option.When channels are in Safe, automation data is replayed but no data can be written to these channels.Manual (No fader status LED) Existing automation data is protected but not played back. The fader and switchesaffect the audio in the normal way but movements will not be written to the automation.Safe mode is not available in a new mix.When the Protect screen is active, the lower row of softkeys become selection softkeys for the automated CUT switchesand the top left softkey now displays SetFader (as shown above). These two softkeys select which controls will be affectedby the FSM softkey and the fader status buttons which are used to cycle through the available Protection Modes, on aglobal basis (FSM softkey) or on a per-channel basis (the fader status buttons). In either case all the selected controls inthe channel will be set to the displayed mode. The protection mode is applied to the channel path which is currentlyassigned to the channel fader.For example, to set all of the main channel faders to Safe mode, activate only the SetFader softkey and use the FSMsoftkey to cycle the Scribble Strip to Safe. Alternatively, to set the CUT switch on channel 1 to Auto mode, activate onlythe CUT softkey and press Channel 1’s fader status button to cycle the Scribble Strip to Auto.When the Protect screen is active, all automated controls can be reset to the same mode by pressing and holding the FSMsoftkey.Page 7-10AWS 924-948 Operator’s Manual
