[Rwp] Creating Envelopes Using The Keyboard

[Justin]

Hi,

I don't know what you mean exactly by creating a fade with a delay so I 
hope this example helps.

1. select the track you want and add your delay effect to it. I'm going 
to assume it has one control for wet gain and another for dry gain. 
Configure the effect parameters as desired for its default state.

2. Having made sure the delay effect is highlighted in the effects chain 
dialogue, tab to the param button and press it using shift space. This 
will bring up a context menu.

3. Cursor down to "FX parameter list" and enter that submenu.

4. Press cursor down til you get to "Show Track Envelopes" and access 
that submenu, which contains a list of all the automatable parameters 
for that effect.

5. Select "Wet Gain"" and press enter.

6. Exit the effects dialogue and press control l, which will cycle you 
through the list of visible envelopes for all tracks of your project, 
i.e. the list of envelopes which it is now possible for you to automate. 
Keep pressing control l until it says the correct track number followed 
by "Wet Gain".

7. Find the place in your project where you want the fade to start.

8. Press alt shift e. This will either allow you to alter the value of 
the envelope point you have highlighted, or, if there isn't one at that 
position, it will insert one for you and then allow you to determine its 
value. there will always be an envelope point at the start of your 
project with the parameter at its default value so, unless you want the 
fade to begin at the start of the project and finish at your newly 
inserted envelope point, you will need to enter two points, one to 
designate where the fade starts, and one to designate where it ends and 
by how much the parameter changes from its default state. This example 
assumes you want a fade in the middle of the project.

9. Therefore, when you press alt shift e at the fade's start point, make 
no other changes, simply press escape and find the point in your project 
where you would like the fade to end.

10. Press alt shift e again and enter the new value, depending on 
whether you want the processed signal that's gone through your delay to 
fade up or down.

11. Tab through the rest of the controls. You will notice that the next 
edit field is position, which allows you to move the envelope point 
later if desired. Tabbing past the OK and Cancel buttons, you will 
notice that you can choose the fade curve you want. It's best to 
experiment with these values and see what you like the sound of, but a 
square shape will result in a very abrupt change.

you can navigate between envelope points by selecting your desired track 
and pressing shift J to go back one and shift K to go forward.

Hope this helps,

Justin
