Chapter 7 Session Management
When a mix is saved, so are the static settings of the
complete console. If the mix is recalled at a later date,
everything will be completely reset to previous static
positions, apart from controls which were automated.
They will assume their settings according to timecode.
If an attempt is made to load another mix whilst the
DYNAMIC LAYER flag is displayed, the user will be
prompted to save the current mix data, via a pop-up.
This will be indicated in the MIXES list as ‘Working
Mix Saved’ with the next default number. Enter a
name instead if desired.
The automation can be turned off during mixing using
the command {MAKE STATIC} {ENTER} on the Control
Keyboard. A dialogue box will warn that dynamic
moves will be lost. In this case, a STATIC MIX will
be saved with the next default number. From this
point, all controls will behave as if no mix has been
recorded e.g. faders will not snap back.
This function is very useful for making a fresh start on
a mix with a new starting balance. To go back later to
a previous mix, move the highlight to it and select
{LOAD} {MIX} {ENTER} on the Control Keyboard.
If unsaved data exists, as always, the user will be
prompted to save it.
If any changes are made to any un-automated controls,
the STATIC DATA flag will highlight this. If the user
tries to load another mix, a pop-up will ask if this data
should be saved, even though it is for static controls.
To delete a mix, highlight the mix in the MIXES field,
then select {DELETE} {MIX} {ENTER} on the
Control Keyboard. Alternatively, select {DELETE}
{MIX} # {ENTER}. A confirmation prompt will appear.
Click on the right hand column, or highlight and press
{EDIT} on the Control Keyboard, for the NOTES pop-
up related to the mix on the same line.
To edit a Mix name
Highlight and click on the name or press {EDIT} on the
Control Keyboard to display a pop-up dialogue box.
Type in a name using the QWERTY keyboard and
press {ENTER} or click on OK.
To re-order a Mix entry
Click on its number in the left hand column for a pop-
up. Overwrite the current number using the numeric
pad on the Control Keyboard, and press {ENTER} or
click on OK. The list will re-order itself.
Partial Loading of Mixes
This function allows the loading of specified channels
or parts of channels according to the SNAPSHOT
DEFAULTS. Select the SNAPSHOTS, COPY and
LINK GUI to view SNAPSHOT DEFAULTS (see
section 7-6-8).
Note:
All the following command lines apply to the currently
highlighted mix in the MIXES & CUES GUI.

MIX AUTO-SAVE
The OXF-R3 system saves backup mixes
automatically. The default settings are for 3 mixes to
be saved in rotation, one every 2 minutes. The time
can be varied from 1 to 60 minutes between saves,
with between 1 and 10 mixes. The settings can be
adjusted in the ‘config file’.
To load the most recent Auto-Save mix:
{LOAD} {MIX} 0 {ENTER}
Substitute ‘-1’ for the ‘0’ to load the second most
recent and ‘-2’ for the third most recent.
