Automix Editing Operations

Since all Automix edit operations affect regions of Automix data, they all use the IN
and OUT edit points. We’ll note how FROM and TO are used where applicable.

About Moving and Deleting Automix Data

When you move or delete Automix data, the location from which you move or delete
the data no longer contains its changes. What this means is that the value set by the
final Automix event before the now-missing data stays in effect until the timeline
reaches the next event, after the missing data’s original location.

COPY

You can copy Automix data from one part of a project to another, or from one Automix
track to another. This allows you to re-use any chunk of automation at multiple
locations in a project. This can be especially handy when the same section of audio—
such as a chorus—appears more than once. When you perfect the automation for the
section, you can re-use it each time it occurs in the project.

MOVE

Automix MOVE allows you to move already-recorded Automix data to a new location
on the same Automix track or to another Automix track. You’d most often use MOVE
when you’ve changed the position of track audio and need to move its automation to
the same location.

Edit point: What it does:

FROM sets the location of the Automix data region’s time anchor
TO sets the destination location for the time anchor
When you copy Automix data to a new location, it replaces any Automix data already
present in the destination location.
