Dear Community
I have recorded several MIDI tracks, which all have continous controller data (CC1/11) and note information. I'd now like to make a second recording pass, where I overwrite just the continous controller data. Is there a way of using overdub just for CC1/11? Or do I have to manually remove these CC information on all the tracks before I record? And if so, is there any automated way of doing this? Thanks a lot.
Cheers
Remo

Re: Overdub Continous Controller
The View Filter and the Automation Setup commands are your friends for this kind of stuff.
You can quickly select all CCs from a track by double clicking on any point.
If you assign CC11 to something like your modwheel, it should be easy to overdub it. Use one of the mixer's record automation modes for this.

I've done this for years using a certain process that I find convenient, but others may not like it at all:
- • First, I make a "similar" track by selecting the main track then typing CONTROL-COMMAND-S, which makes a "Similar" track. That is, it's a duplicate of the track as far as inputs and outputs go, but it contains no data. Let's call that the Scratch Track.
• Next, I select all the controller 11 data (or controller 2, or whatever I'm going to be working with) by double clicking on one point of that data. It will select all of that data type.
• Now, in the Tracks Overview Window, let's drag the Controller 11 data to the Scratch Track. Here's how: Hold down the Command Key and click on one of the little selected points in the original track and drag that to the Scratch Track (it can be hard to see these selected points, so be careful not to deselect. Holding the SHIFT key down in addition to the Command key will help prevent deselecting. So, now we have the MIDI Note data in the original track, and Controller 11 in the Scratch Track. You can use any method you want to get the Controller 11 data out of the original track and into the scratch track. Just be careful that it pastes or drags to the same time location.
• Open the Input Filter. Set it up so that it ONLY records Controller 11.
• Now create a new take. Play back the original track while recording in the Scratch Track, and you've got a whole new "take" of Controller 11.
• You can continue making new takes until you get one you like.
• When you're done, you may optionally drag the controller data back to the original track and delete the Scratch Track. It's up to you.
Sometimes I use another trick to make it easy to cut & paste the controller data. First, I duplicate a controller and drag that duplicate to 1/1/000. This control point is going to be your "anchor" so that it's easy to paste the controllers to the right place. Double-click it. Now you've selected all of that controller type, including the anchor. Cut it, then go to the Scratch Track and paste it in so that it begins on bar 1/1/000. Once it's in place, you can delete the anchor.
