Using Live Mix Mode
Live Mix mode lets you temporarily override existing volume and pan automation settings
currently applied to a sequence. The most common way to use Live Mix mode is with a 002 or
Command|8 attached as a control surface. When you use an external controller you can play the
audio and override existing volume and pan automation settings in real time. For example, you
want to loop through a portion of audio and want to lower the dialog on one track while you
concentrate on the other tracks. You could mute the track that contains the dialog, but it might be
more useful to simply lower the volume of the track without changing any existing volume
automation or pan settings.
The volume slider areas appear red in Live Mix mode.
