[Rwp] Automation

Mon Jun 8 00:32:05 EDT 2015

Hi, 

That's a great tip about slowing the project down for writing automation
Chris Thanks. I was wondering how to get round the fact that you can't write
faster than your cursor can travel between values that are far apart. 

Thanks for your tip too Daniel. There's just one thing I'm unsure of, well
two related things really. If you go to the position where you want
automation to happen, switch automation mode to write, press shift P and
change your parameter value, then click play, how do you stop the change
from being abrupt? I thought you had to switch to write, press play and then
adjust the parameters as the track was playing so as not to fall from one
value down an almost sheer drop to another if you see what I mean. 

Likewise, if you're two minutes through a six minute item/track and you
want, say, a ten DB fade up of something and you want it to stay at the new
volume for the rest of the item, is there any way to do that without having
to sit there for four minutes playing the file through to make sure the
value sticks?

Mimicking automation through the cross-fading of items is all very well, but
what do you do if you're automating a folder or receive track with no items
on it? Am I right that, in those cases, automation is your only option? 

So guess touch and flash are a mystory/inaccessible?

Thanks for all the help and tips guys, 

Justin

Hi guys!
Just sharing how I work with automations...
It may not be the most practical, common, or the easy way to do this, but...
For me, it works as I want...
For example: I have a track with a looped car engine sample, that I want to
pitch down to simulate the deceleration of the vehicle...
To do this, I use the Reapitch...
First, I add the plugin to the track;
After, on the plugin window, I press the "Param" button, that will open a
menu; On the menu that opened, I select the "Fx parameter list", that will
open other menu; After, I select "Show track envelope", that have all the
parameters of the plugin that can be accessed with the shortcut shift+p;
There, I select the "1: Shift (full range)" parameter. It will be marked;
So, I go back to the track view, and press tab to change the "Automation
mode" of the track. I change to "Write"; Now, I go to the position where I
want that the pitch change, press shift+p and adjust the parameter that I
selected before; After it, I press space to play, pause and write the
envelope on that position; And I repeat the last two steps until I get the
effect that I want...
When it is done, I change the "Automation mode" of the track back to "Trim".

Well... Is it. As I said, it may not be the most practical, common, or the
easy way to do this, but... For me, it works as I want...
Hope it helps!
And... Sorry for my english.

P.s.: I'm using the Reaaccess with Reaper 4.55.

Best regards,
- Daniel -
