Sir Hannes Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Hi, I bounce MIDI objects to audio tracks without plugins. I have to copy the automation data. I am used to first create an audio track and then copy and paste the channelstrip. Now I copy and insert all midi objects "include automation data" to re-create that midi-track but as audio track. But this fails now. The parameters are not assigned, instead of a Cutoff I get a PlugIn bypass. I think, because audio track is missing first slot = instrument plugin, it's not able to shift this, so parameters are not properly assigned. Example: ES2 with Step FX and Phat FX. Bounced to audio track with Step FX and Phat FX: recreates "Bypass insert" which was filter cutoff at ES2 - and so on. How to handle this?

Atlas007 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Just a hunch: have you tried leaving the first Fx slot empty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polanoid Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 When you hold the Cmd key while choosing a new parameter from the Automation Parameter menu, you will be given this option which lets you copy or move the currently displayed automation curve to the one you're switching to. Maybe that helps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that helps? Thanks, but I know this feature and use it very often. In my scenario this creates a lot of work which shouldn't be there, because it's all digital and the channel strips are copied. Will try what Atlas wrote.

Sir Hannes Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 as opposed to manual fading or an external machine like SSL or Harrison where you can't access automation lanes with a mouse. Actually what Atlas wrote, does work. But it's very annoying due to loading times, extra work around and so on. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Have you considered using merge patch function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hannes Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 Interesting thought. As I never work with the library patches (their presets aren't useful for me at all) this won't work. If I got you right, I had to save my channelstrip first each time I want to copy automation data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Patches could be loaded to have different channelstrip settings without changing the automation mapping/assignment, providing that you took care to previously saving the patches accordingly (with the first instrument slot empty to coincide the plugin respective instantiation positions). Of course that implies extra work. But if you plan to reuse those channelstrip combinations / patches, that work need to be done only once. The merge property of the patches could also become quite handy eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
