Automation
Static Value Line
403
1.
Ramp curves
Ramp curves are created for any parameter that generates continuous multiple
values, such as fader or encoder movements.
2.
Jump curves
Jump curves are created for on/off parameters such as mute.
Static Value Line
When you open an automation track for the first time, it does not contain any automation
events. This is reflected in the event display as a straight horizontal line, the static value line.
This line represents the current parameter setting.
If you manually added any automation events or used write automation for the corresponding
parameter and then disable the reading of automation data, the automation curve is grayed-
out in the event display and the static value line is used instead.
As soon as Read is enabled, the automation curve is used.
Write/Read Automation
You can automation enable tracks and MixConsole channels by activating their automation
write W and read R buttons.
•
If you activate W for a channel, virtually all MixConsole parameters that you adjust
during playback for that specific channel are recorded as automation events.
•
If R is activated for a channel, all your recorded MixConsole actions for that channel
are performed during playback.
The R and W buttons for a track in the track list are the same as the R and W buttons in the
MixConsole.
NOTE
R is automatically enabled when you enable W. This allows Cubase to read existing
automation data at any time. You can separately deactivate W if you only want to read existing
data.
There are also global read and write indicator buttons Activate/Deactivate Read/Write for
All Tracks on the MixConsole toolbar and at the top of the track list. These buttons light
up as soon as there is an enabled R or W button on any channel/track within your project.
Furthermore, they can be clicked to activate or deactivate R/W of all tracks simultaneously.
