<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>put g-snap on each item you want corrected, leave
the rest untouched. the only annoying approach is that although you can bypass
effects on a track easily enough, it is more complicated to do this for an item
short of vey manually disabling each instance of the plugin.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I normally don't
ask questions out here because, quite honestly, I like to figure things out
myself. But this one has me stumped.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to mix down an audio project with some
fairly standard effects: low pass filter to get rid of a hum, gate, an
autotune plugin called gSnap, a compresser, slight chorus to get a better
stereo image, and a free reverb plugin. My problem is this. At a few points,
the vocalist uses some nonstandard notes that don't fall into the normal
scale, which in this case happens to be b minor. My thought was that I could
somehow use automation to fix this. In sonar, I know that turning automation
write on and adjusting controls while the song is playing can allow for
realtime, automated volume / parameter changes. Since it's kind of difficult
to be precise when changing parameters involves clicking a button with NVDA
flat review, I stopped the track and tried it that way. Sadly, it didn't work.
The scale change affected the entire track from start to finish. So did the
change back to the original scale.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I even tried bypassing the effect in automation
and leaving that note, which was perfect anyway, not autotuned. No go.
Anything I changed affected all tracks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found through some experimentation that adding
an effect to a given item puts it before track effects in the chain. That is
to say, if I added an autotune effect to a specific item, it would go before
anything else. This would work, in theory. But what if I want it gated first,
with a high pass filter? What if I don't want autotune first in the
chain.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried pasting separate instances of all the
effects on separate items, splitting at the points where there were notes
which didn't work under the circumstances. That worked, but I could hear an
obvious slight fade where the effects kicked out and back in, and it didn't at
all sound professional.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I guess what I'm looking for is a way to
decide where the item effects fall in the chain. Either that, or a way to
properly control automation. I'm not saying this isn't possible, simply that I
have no idea how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
