All Faders Move to Minimum Position when a Song or Automix is Started on an AW4416
By design, every Automix on the AW4416 starts by recalling a Scene Memory. The Scene Memory that is recalled is the scene which is currently selected when the 'NEW MIX' function is executed. If the currently selected Scene Memory is '00. Initial Data' (Default), then the Automix will start with the initial settings of the AW4416, which includes all of the faders being completely ''down''.
The proper procedure, and remedy to this symptom, is to create a ''Starting Scene'' containing ALL of the desired parameter settings (Level, Pan, EQ, Routing, etc.) for the beginning ''mix'' of the Song. The created scene is then recalled and subsequently recorded as the first event of a newly created Automix.
