pianobum Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi Everyone, I am setting all my control points in Automation, and my faders are moving in the Mixer but the actual audible volumes aren't changing. I don't know if it has something to do with using Kontakts plug in sounds but none of my factory patches in the project are changing volumes either. Automation works fine in other much simpler tracked projects. So, it's something just within this one. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danyg Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 my faders are moving in the Mixer but the actual audible volumes aren't changing my first guess is: ...what you hear is not coming out from where you think it's coming. In other words, you are automating the wrong fader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 To start troubleshooting...: solo one of those tracks, turn off automation, wiggle the volume fader all the way down, all the way up, can you hear it? Repeat with the other tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithsmith Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It doesn't work like that in Kontakt, I'm afraid. You need to find an unassigned controller in the list at the left side of the Kontakt window and drag it to the control on Kontakt's UI that you want to automate. Its not really easy to explain, the best thing is to look at the numerous YouTube videos on the subject, many of them are specific to Logic.

keithsmith Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 If none of your other automation is working it might be a different problem, but in any event, you'll need to follow the procedure for automating Kontakt instruments. For example, dragging a Kontakt controller number to the instrument's volume knob creates a corresponding controller titled 'volume' in the controller assignments drop down list in Logic.

pianobum Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi everyone, Thanks for all the tips.I think its something I'm not getting a handle on in KONTAKT; I'm going to try a few things based on the suggestions. Ive started to reassign mixer channels as I've noticed that Kontakt definitely plays by it's own rules lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
