Effect automation also activates volume automation?

[Bouncer]

On one track I have effect automation. But it also somehow activated volume automation too which I dont need. How do I deactivate the volume automation and leave just the effect's?

Two things...

1) to remove the volume automation, the quickest way (for me) is to open the automation event list (available only via key command). Select any one volume event you see in there, use the "select similar events' function, and hit delete. Then close the list. If you have those key commands already established, the whole operation takes (literally) one second.

2) to prevent volume automation from being written, open the automation preferences and de-select Volume.

hey ski, i couldnt find the event list. this is what i have( see image ). I actually need to mute" automation on a track right now before bouncing it

I mean I want to leave one automation but mute another on the same track

[rainstick]

the way i would go about that is to just show the volume automation for that track - then delete that track of automation ( ' ctrl cmd del ' i think )

and maybe you've accidentally assigned the volume to a midi controller, ? check the controller assignments window......

i may have missed the point though...

Still not clear what you want 4pointsgpa. Automation is not "activated", it's either there or not, and the channel strip is either in "Off" or "Read" mode. If you're in a Read mode, all automation (volume AND effects) will be read. Did you want to delete only the volume automation? Or keep it on the track for later but not have it read by the channel strip for this bounce operation?

yes, i needed to bounce a track without automation, but I didnt want to delete it. I had more than one automation on the same track so I couldnt switch it off. Is it possible to duplicate a track with all the data, all the regions and all automation? In that case i could delete it and still have original copy

thanks

I could delete, bounce and then revert to saved

[David]

You could do that.

Or to be on the safe side you could copy the automation onto an empty audio track. Then just copy it back.

but yeah, originally I didnt know how to erase automation, which was somehow written not on purpose. Its not easy sometimes to select automation nodes holding shift without risking erasing regions on the next track. Ski gave a good tip about using key command to delete it and now I have deselected automating volume. But I also have another question.

[David]

But I also have another question.

Since it wasn't related to the topic of this thread, I have moved your other question to the following thread:

Move automation node right on the grid?

[David]

To select all the automation on one track, you can Command-click the automation fader (to the right in the track header when in automation view).

This isn't mentioned in this thread, so I'll give it: you'll find the Automation Event list by hitting ctrl-cmd-E. If that doesn't work (though it is the default in all presets), just check your keycommands if it is assigned, and if not, assign it. Very useful editor.
