USING AUTOMATION CHP. 7
Adjusting assignable effects automation levels
1.
Click the Automation Settings button and select Show Automation Controls. The fader handle is
displayed as a
in automation mode.
2.
Click the label on the multipurpose slider and choose an assignable effects chain from the menu.
3.
Drag the FX fader to control the level of the track sent to each of the assignable FX chains that you have
created.
The fader behaves differently depending on the track automation recording mode:
• When the track has an assignable effects envelope and the track automation mode is set to Off, the fader
adjusts the send level of the entire track. In this mode, the automation control acts as a second trim
control.
• When the track has an assignable effects envelope and the track automation mode is set to Read, the
fader will follow the envelope during playback but cannot be adjusted.
• When the track has an assignable effects envelope and the track automation mode is set to To uch or
Latch, the fader edits the envelope setting at the cursor position. If the track does not have an envelope,
one will be created when you adjust the fader.
If multiple tracks are selected, all selected tracks are adjusted.
If you adjust the fader during playback, the behavior varies depending on the selected automation recording
mode. For more information, see Automating 5.1 surround projects on page 167.
