mation to copy the entire automation play-
list for the corresponding controls.

tion to, and click OK.

Automating Plug-Ins
You can create dynamic automation for
virtually all parameters of the TDM Plug-
Ins included with your Pro Tools system.
Automating a Plug-In is slightly different
from other automation procedures in that
you must first enable automation parame-
ters for the Plug-In.
To enable Plug-In parameters for automation:
1 Click the Automation button in the In-
serts/Sends Editor window for the Plug-In.
2 Choose the parameters to automate and
click Add. If there are multiple Plug-Ins on
the same track, you can select from among
these by clicking their buttons in the In-
serts section of this dialog.
To automate a Plug-In:
1 In the Automation Enable window, make
sure that Plug-In automation is enabled.
2 Choose an automation mode for each
track you want to automate. For an initial
automation pass, choose Auto Write.
3 Click OK to close the Plug-In Automation
dialog.
4 Click Play to begin writing automation.
Adjust the Plug-In parameters.
5 When you have finished, click Stop.
