Recording individual fader or knob movements
Recording automation for knobs and faders works in the Track view, the Console view, and Synth
Rack. You can record automation during both playback and recording operations.
To record individual fader or knob movements
1. Do one of the following:
• To write-enable an individual track or bus control, right-click the fader or control you want to
automate and choose Automation Write Enable from the pop-up menu.
• To write-enable individual plug-in parameters, right-click the name of the plug-in in the effects
bin, and choose Write Enable Parameter from the pop-up menu. This opens a dialog box
that allows you to choose which parameters to write-enable.
• To write-enable individual synth parameters, right-click the synth’s Automation Write button
in the Synth Rack, and choose Write Enable Parameter from the pop-up menu. This opens a
dialog box that allows you to choose which parameters to write-enable.
• To write-enable all parameters in an audio track, bus, synth, or effect, enable the Automation
Write button on the track, bus, Synth Rack strip, or plug-in property page you are
recording automation for. Enabling the Automation Write button on a track or bus also write-
enables all parameters of any effects on the track or bus.
2. Start playback or recording.
