To record automation:
1 In the Automation Enable window, make sure
that plug-in automation is write-enabled.
2 On the track with the plug-in, choose an au-
tomation mode. For an initial pass, choose Auto
Write.
3 Click Play to begin writing automation, and
move the controls you want to automate.
4 When you have finished, click Stop.
After the initial automation pass, you can write
additional automation to the track without
completely erasing the previous pass by choos-
ing Auto Touch mode or Auto Latch mode.
These modes add new automation only when
you actually move the control for that parame-
ter.
Record Safing Plug-In Automation
If you are satisfied with the automation re-
corded for a plug-in, you can use the Automa-
tion Safe button to ensure that you do not inad-
vertently overwrite it.
To record safe automation for a plug-in:
1 Open the Plug-In window for the plug-in.
2 Select the Safe button.
To disable automation record safing for a plug-in:
■ Deselect the Safe button on the desired plug-
in.
Using the Librarian
The Settings Librarian makes it easy to create
your own library of plug-in settings. Using the
Librarian and Settings pop-up menus, you can
copy, paste, save, and import these settings from
plug-in to plug-in, or from session to session.
Once you create and save settings files to disk
(and tell Pro Tools where to find them by assign-
ing their root folder) they will appear in the Li-
brarian menu.
