Automation

The Automation window provides access to some of the functions available under the Options < Automation submenu and the control surface, as well as some additional functions.

Bypass

•When Bypass is selected, automation data is neither recorded nor played back.

•When Bypass is not selected, all write-selected parameter adjustments are written into automa- tion data and referenced to time code.

Trim

•Selecting Trim mirrors the TRIM button on the console.

•Sets all faders to unity position (when “Trim From Unity” is selected) and assigns all param- eter controls (except mutes) to globally add or subtract from existing settings and recorded moves.

•This is perfect for raising or lowering a com- plete set of automation moves. For example, if the vocal track is perfectly crafted and struc- tured, yet the entire track needs to come up a couple of dB in the mix, fear not. Select Trim, start time code, enter WRITE mode and, with one move, increase the vocal track fader 2 dB throughout the duration of the pass.

Trim From Unity

•When this is checked, selecting Trim or Touch mode causes the faders to jump to unity posi- tion.

•When Trim From Unity is not checked, the faders remain at their current positions. Mov- ing the fader up or down adds or subtracts the difference from the automation data recorded for that channel.

Faders

•This readies the automation computer to record all fader movements for any write-enabled chan- nel.

Pans

•This readies the automation system to record all pan movements for any write-enabled channel.

•All surround pans are recorded as well as L/R positioning. However, surround output, depth of center, and LFE Level are not written with this selection (use Other/All to write automation for these parameters).

Mutes

•This readies the automation computer to record all mute activity for any write-enabled channel.

Other

•Selecting Other mirrors the ALL button on the console.

•Sets the automation computer to record all pa- rameter changes for the write-enabled channels, other than the individually selectable Faders, Mutes, and Pans.

Filter

•Opens the Automation Filter window. This allows you to select individual parameters for automation from a list of available parameters other than Faders, Mutes, and Pans.

•Parameters include Auxes, EQs, Dynamics, Buses, Phase, and Misc (everything else).
