MPA 408 Lecture 04/14/10 Automation

Today we covered the whole array of automation, from Real Time (writing) to Auto (graphic setting).

To begin the process we click Apple 4 To bring up the Automation Window

Then we went through each button in the window... most were self explanatory. We established early in the process that in order to write automation, the channel that was being automated must be set to automate the same feature. For instance if the Automation Window Pan is lit then the channels Pan must be opened as well. Same goes for all other desired functions.

Note

This feature is most common amongst Volume, Panning and EQ. Plus sign on left hand side of channel displays automation in their own track view.

Quick Keys:

Apple C (or c) = Copy Highlighted Region
Apple D (or d) = Duplicated Highlighted Region
Aple. + Option + Ctr. = creates new Automatable send On desired channel.

When groups are highlighted then all automation applies to the group. If You would like to automate a single channel then you must deselect the group.


Note

To copy Automation from one section to another (pan to volume), Select edit in the top menu. Copy Special. Paste!!!
