For each track, the MCS-3000X has a Snap Mode button that allows you to easily punch in and punch out small sections of automation gain information. The second row from the top contains the Snap Mode buttons. For more information on button location, see
MCS-3000X Buttons.
In Snap mode, the fader automatically stops recording as soon as you release it. In addition, the fader continues to display the volume information in the Timeline.
The system begins playing the section, and the faders move
accordingly.
The system immediately begins recording.
The system stops recording (but keeps playing) and the fader snaps
back to the level that is in the Timeline.
When the track is not in Snap mode, the system continues to record audio volume information after you release the fader. Press the Select button (top row) to stop recording and snap the button back to its current Timeline position.
The green light next to the Select button for a track is on when you are recording audio gain automation on the track. The green light is off when you are listening to the volume level in the Timeline.
