Adding effect automation
1.
Click the down arrow next to the Track FX button and choose FX Automation to display the
FX Automation Chooser.
If no track effects exist, clicking the Track FX button will display the Plug-In Chooser. Effects
that can be automated are indicated by the icon in the chooser. The first time you select a
plug-in, the application will determine whether it can be automated and will update the plug-
in's icon and add it to the Automatable folder in the Plug-In Chooser.
2. Click an effect button at the top of the FX Automation Chooser. A list of the effect's automatable
parameters is displayed:
3. Select the check box for each parameter that you want to control with an envelope.
If you're working with a 5.1 surround project, you can select the Enable check boxes to
determine which channels will be affected by the plug-in. An automation envelope is added to
the timeline for each selected channel so you can enable or bypass the plug-in during the
project.
If you want to use distinct plug-in settings for each channel (separate EQ settings for the front and
surround speakers, for example), you can add multiple instances of the plug-in to the track effects
chain and select the Enable check boxes for the channels you want each instance of the plug-in to
affect.
4. Click OK to close the FX Automation Chooser. An envelope is added to the track for each parameter
that you selected in the FX Automation Chooser.
