Using the Latch Mode Feature on Artist Series
Controllers
Some Artist Series controllers have an Auto REC button for each track that lets you enable or
disable latch mode for recording volume automation and pan information.
When a track is not in latch mode (sometimes called “touch mode”), it automatically stops
recording as soon as you release it. When you release the fader, it begins moving again as it
follows the volume information in the Timeline.
If you enable latch mode, the controller continues to record gain and pan after you release the
fader or pan knob, with the gain and pan values remaining at the last values set during your
recording session.
To use latch mode:
1. Click the Auto REC button for the appropriate tracks on the controller.
You can click the button before or during a recording session.
2. Set In and Out points, and click the Record button in the Audio Mixer tool.
The system begins playing the section and the faders move accordingly.
3. When you want to make an adjustment, move the fader or pan soft knob to change the
volume.
The system immediately begins recording.
4. When you are finished adjusting the section, release the fader or pan soft knob.
When the track is in latch mode, the system continues to record audio volume information
after you release the fader or soft knob.
5. (Option) Press the Auto REC button to stop recording and snap the button back to its current
Timeline position.
