Hi all,
Basic question but I have been unable to test this myself. Does anyone know for sure if you use a "record" mixer config. do fader moves get "written to disk"? So if we took a fader controller out on live sessions and were riding the faders would this actually change the gain of the media on its way in?
I guess I'm confused about the distinction between a record config. and a mix config...
Thanks,
Silas

As I have understood, the mixer is completely configurable. This should mean that you could make a bank of faders with ins from your inputs and assign their outputs to busses and the busses to disk tracks, thus giving you a fader for level to disk, you could turn off the automation on these channels. I'm not sure what kind of delay you'd be seeing but you could make a cue mix (pre or post) from these faders and not the "monitor" tracks.
I've only seen pmx once and this was the feature that impressed me most, the mixer.
I'm not sure how changing the level to disk after the converter would effect the resolution, if it's to follow a soloist in jazz or similar it might be better if you did it outside, get a fader between the pre and the converter etc...
This particular technique was borrowed from my PT setups, it usually includes effects, EQ etc.... I like to record with the end result, not add it later, it helps the performance and for inside the box this is the way it works for me. Maybe it won't work in pmx but I find it improbable.

Re: Mixer in Record path
Hi all,
there is a workaround which may blow up your mixer depending on the amount of tracks you're willing to record post fader - but it works.
Open an aux bus on the strip you want to record post fader and turn fully up the send knob. Assign the aux bus to any internal bus. Open a new strip and assign to the same internal bus. Go to a new track and enable recording of the new internal bus.
When recording classical music with e.g. 24mics, I always record 24 tracks plus my hot mix (past all pans, faders and effects) through an internal bus on tracks 25+26. Later I'm editing this hot mix which usually remains the final mix. Multitrack is only for safety.
There is a delay - you'll hear a phasing noise when listening to the signals pre and post bus. But you can compensate it. For me this is a very comfortable solution.
Regards,
Jakob

Dear Johann-
Well, son! It's always nice to hear from one of my younger buddies.
I've been holding on to a huge pile of your old manuscripts-- the half nobody has ever had access to down on Earth! Seems they are just playing that Mass in B minor repeatedly... Shall I fedex this stuff to you-- or just drop it into the recycling?
