Activating Preview

Procedure

  1. On the Automation Panel, in the Preview section, activate Preview.
    Note

    To set the Preview mode permanently, click Preview 2 times. A lock symbol is displayed on the highlighted button. You can disable this by clicking the button a third time.

  2. Touch a parameter control.

    The Suspend, Punch, and Punch on Play options are displayed. You now have full manual control of the touch-collected parameter and can suspend any previously recorded automation data.

  3. Optional: Touch-collect another parameter if you want to write data for several parameters during the same automation pass.
  4. Play back the scene to find the parameter settings that you want.
  5. Touch the required parameter, start playback, find the value, and activate Punch to start the new automation pass.
  6. Optional: If you want to compare the value that was found during preview with previously automated values, activate the Suspend option.

    This plays back your audio material using the parameter values set before activating Preview. You can use the delta indicator in the automation track as an additional visual aid for comparing the values.

  7. When you are happy with the values found, click Punch to start the new automation pass.

    The new value setting is recorded from the point where you punched in to your punch out position as defined by the automation mode setting.
