How do you do this- automation changes

Post by mikeharper »

Hello
lets say I have a track that needs to come down a bit - maybe 1 DB or less. But I don't want to change the automation values. Is there a way to select all of the nodes and use hot keys to nudge the values?

You can do that in the Sequence Editor. Just click on a Volume Data point, then drag across the desired range then drag the selection up or down as needed.

Easiest: just insert a Trim Plugin (MOTU stock) on the track and set to -1.0 dB.

Select the track in the SE so that all the soundbites are selected and then 'Set Bite Gain'. There isn't a key combo assigned to that. You can assign one or shift-spacebar and start typing 'set bite'. It will come up and you can set to whatever you want.

Sure there is.

In the sequence Editor, select all the automation nodes you want to modify then select
Menu Region > Change Continuous Data… ( ⌃⌘ C On my computer )
Click "Audio Volume" and type a value in the "Add XXX to All Values".

Rinse and repeat.
