My monitor guy and I are here in the front lounge discussing. Neither of us has ever been on a SD7. He says the SD7T has runtime automation on it. Being that I've worked on the D5T, SD8 I've never seen Digico use runtime automation. Please let us know who wins..

What do you mean by "runtime automation"?

Runtime Automation is fader automation found on most recording consoles, or high end broadcast desk (sony, SSL, Neve). It will record fader movement.

The SD7T adds a more sophisticated scene management system, but there is no automation that tracks timecode AFAIK. There is scene crossfading, but not TC tracking.
The only current digital live sound console I am familiar with that will track fader moves to timecode is the Yamaha DM2000, and it was originally positioned as a post production console.
The PM5d and PM1d will take scenes based on timecode, and those scenes can have whatever crossfade timing you want, but they do not do automated fader moves either.

Hey! I'm curious, does anyone know of an other live mixing desk that has run time automation on it? I think it's possible to record fader movements on a CL5 with an external MIDI device but apart from that... Thanks!

Read the rules, fix your display name.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Mac, what do you mean by "do not do automated fader moves"?

NECAM, as an example. Where faders, pots, mutes, etc follow time code during the playback/mix down process. Like a light board executing cues and having the faders move.

Several boards can take cues off TC, but in Oct of 2011 I was referring to moves that repeated the fader moves that were recorded in real time, not firing off a snapshot.

Ah yes, the other half of "how did that fader get programed to move THERE."

Ahh, OK. Fader moves following programming ala the automation in Protools or such.
Don't the Digico SD series allow this with their macro functions? I.e. can't you record automation into one of the macros and then execute that macro over time code?
