Automation Reduction Level
This slider allows you to remove all superfluous automation events. A reduction
level value of 0% removes repeated automation points only. A reduction level value
between 1 to 100 % smoothens the automation curve. The default value of 50 %
should reduce the automation data amount significantly without touching the sound
result of the existing automation.
Show Automation Track in Project on Writing Parameter
If you activate this option, the corresponding automation track is revealed on writing
automation parameters. This is useful if you want to have a visual control of all
parameters changed on writing.
Automation Follows Events
If this option is activated, automation events will automatically follow when you
move an event or part on the track.
This facilitates setting up automation that is related to a specific event or part,
instead of a specific position in the project. For example, you can automate the
panning of a sound effect event (having the sound pan from left to right, etc.) – if you
need to move the event, the automation will automatically follow. The rules are:
● All automation events for the track between the start and end of the event or
part will be moved. If there are automation events in the position to which you
move the part or event, these will be overwritten.
● If you duplicate an event or part, the automation events will be duplicated as
well.
● This function also affects copying and pasting.
Drag Delay
When you click and drag an event, this setting determines the delay before the event
is moved. This helps you avoid accidentally moving events when you click on them in
the Project window.
Editing - Audio
Treat Muted Audio Events like Deleted
If you have 2 overlapping audio events in your project and you mute the top one (the
event you hear during playback), playback of the other (obscured) event will still only
start at the end of the overlapping section.
If this is not what you want, Treat Muted Audio Events like Deleted allows you to
immediately play the obscured event when muting the top event.
Use Mouse Wheel for Event Volume and Fades
● If this option is activated, you can use the mouse wheel to move the event
volume curve up or down.
● When you hold down Shift while moving the mouse wheel, the fade curves
will be affected. To move the end point of the fade in, position the mouse in
the left half of the event. To move the start point of the fade out, position the
mouse in the right half of the event.
On Import Audio Files
This setting determines what happens when importing an audio file into a project:
● Open Options Dialog
An Import Options dialog opens when you import, allowing you to select
whether you want to copy the file to the audio folder and/or convert it to the
project settings.
● Use Settings
