Edit Operations (Region/Event select)

When nothing is selected

Add Library Entry Recall This operation brings up
the parameters you edit in order to recall a library
entry as an automation event. You can define:
• : from which library (EQ or Dynamics)
Library Type
an individual preset is recalled
• : use this to choose an effect to recall when

• : The time taken for the current settings

• : Exit without making changes

DONE
Render Library Recalls This allows the parameter
changes which will be performed when a library
entry is recalled to be split into a series of automation
events. This can be useful when a mix started out
containing library recalls, that later requires dynamic
automation.

additional edit commands are available when a
region or an event has been selected:
Move Move automation data or the region itself.

Edit Operations (Pencil Tool)

With the pencil tool selected, it is possible to draw
freehand control automation data.

Edit Operations (Curve Tool)

The curve type is very useful for

Smooth Use this function to smooth out the move-

this when sharp control movements are too audible.

NOTE
If a fader's (or other continuous controller's) Initial
Value is modified in this way, an Initial Event Ramp
Time will not be applied. Unlike an Init Edit, controls
that have had their Initial Value modified in this way
can have that modification reversed by the Undo
command.
Move Allows you to nudge, by fine or gross
amounts, the automation data of your selected
region.
Use the parameter to determine the

useful for introducing random control fluctuations
into a track that is lacking performance dynamics, in
a similar way to using randomized quantization in a
MIDI performance.
