Automating Plug-ins

You can automate changes to plug-in controls.
Because Pro Tools creates a separate playlist for
each plug-in control that you automate, you can
later edit and modify each automated control
individually. This lets you to build up complex
Tempo Sync
automation in stages.
Preference Setting to Auto Enable All
Plug-in Parameters
You can configure Pro Tools to enable all param-
eters for automation when you first assign a
plug-in insert.
To auto-enable all parameters on newly inserted
plug-ins:
Choose Setup > Preferences, and click the Mix-
1
ing tab.
In the Automation section, click to select the
2
Plug-in Controls Default to Auto-Enabled set-
ting.
• When selected, all applicable controls of
newly added plug-ins are enabled for auto-
mation.
• When not selected, the controls of newly
added plug-in must be manually enabled
for automation.
To create automation for a stereo plug-in
with separate controls for each channel,
(such as Mod Delay), record the automation
for one channel, then copy and paste it to
the other channel.

tomation, refer to the Pro Tools Reference
