Toy Robot Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I've created a brief tutorial showing Auto-Mix setup for either a mono or stereo workflow. I think this may help folks who have had questions about Auto-Mix in general, or who had questions about routing and setup so they could begin to experiment with the function. Pay no mind to sound flaws in the edit please. I sent sound directly to camera to save time, and iMovie isn't the most robust of programs to edit audio with. I could spend a lot more time cleaning this up, but I believe it's fine for a tutorial. Anyway, I do hope this helps some of you who may have missed the post on the Zaxcom group on FB. Enjoy.

afewmoreyears Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nice little video... I was surprised to see such a large number of steps involved.... It took a bit to set up... but, there is a great deal of ability to set up so many things... When I enable the Auto mix on the 788 it takes a few seconds.... not nearly that long, and works great... I am sure this system works well too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much easier on the Maxx actually and I don't think you lose much in flexibility. In my opinion, the Nomad and Maxx would greatly benefit from a complete overhaul of the UI now that the feature set is mostly finalized.

John Blankenship Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 They should get rid of all selections other than an on/off switch so sound mixers won't have to go to all the bother of learning the tools of their trade. ...Except perhaps the addition of an integral espresso dispenser so overtaxed mixers can rest up from the exertion of having pressed the button.

afewmoreyears Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I agree, but the dispenser must also dispense Hazelnut creamer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prahlad Strickland Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Zaxcom should have a default A-mix button, u push it and it does all the neccessary adjustments to have auto mix work... Then we would obviously adjust which tracks we want auto mixed etc... I like the MAXX routing / record routing much better than Nomad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Zaxcom should have a default A-mix button, u push it and it does all the neccessary adjustments to have auto mix work... The only real adjustment, other than the automix parameters such as mic on threshold and attenuation level, is routing. And routing is not one size fits all.

Wandering Ear Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I seem to be in the minority here, but I really did not like the menu record routing in the maxx when I owned one. I appreciate the matrix system, which is much more flexible. I would hate to see the matrix routing disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the Maxx's routing page, but I do prefer Nomad's routing matrix much more, which affords me more flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully my biggest issue was that I couldn't leave tracks routed and disarm them. I do end up often combining more than one source to a record track though, which you can't do with a menu routing.
