Automation Functions Menu

A number of general functions are available for automation.

  • To open the Automation Functions menu, select Project > Automation Panel, and click Automation Functions.

Delete All Automation in Project

Removes all automation data from your project.

Delete Automation of Selected Tracks

Removes all automation data on selected tracks.

Delete Automation in Range

Deletes all automation data between the left and right locators on all tracks.

Fill Gaps on Selected Tracks

This option is used with virgin territories. Select this option to fill any gaps in the automation curves of the selected tracks with a continuous value. The value of the last event (the end point) of a section is used to fill the gap. This value is written across the gap up to one millisecond before the first event of the next automated section. A new event is inserted here; the value will be ramped to the next automated section.

Fill Gaps with Current Value (Selected Tracks)

This option is used with virgin territories. Select this option to fill any gaps in the automation curves of the selected tracks. The gaps are filled with the current value of the corresponding control.

Create Initial Parameter Events

This function creates and stores the initial automation values for each automatable parameter in the MixConsole. For parameters that have not been automated yet, automation events are created at the current parameter position, for example, at value 0. As initial parameter events are created on all channels, all channels will have automation data, even if you did not add automation to them. If this is not what you want, use the Global Snapshot function instead.

Freeze All Trim Automation in Project

Freezes all trim automation for all tracks in the project.

Freeze Trim Automation of Selected Tracks

Freezes all trim automation for the selected tracks.

Global Snapshot: Store

Use this function to save a backup copy of all automatable MixConsole parameters as a snapshot so that you can reapply them later. The snapshot is saved with the project. You can only save one snapshot at a time. By storing a snapshot, a previously stored snapshot may be overwritten.

Global Snapshot: Apply

Applies the stored snapshot.

Global Snapshot: Remove

Removes the stored snapshot.

Reduce Automation Events

Reduce Automation Events of Selected Tracks

Allows you to delete redundant automation points and smoothen the automation curve for the selected tracks.

Delete Automation Spikes

Allows you to delete automation spikes in the automation curve for all tracks in the active project.

Delete Automation Spikes of Selected Tracks
