Can Pro Tools Do Automtion Curves?
I'm having some trouble doing automation. For instance, I have an instrument playing from Kontakt and I want to automate the pitch wheel. However, I can't seem to get Pro Tools to draw curves (or even straight lines) between points. It just draws a bunch of little individual automaton points. I'm assuming there must be a way to draw in smooth automation curves?

And I'm sure you can find a you tube tutorial... Good luck Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk |

Thanks for the reply. So, when I select the straight line on the pencil tool to automate the pitch of a virtual instrument, it still creates a stepped sequence instead of a perfectly straight line. Also, the parabolic drawing tool does not seem to make any shape at all. Also, what exactly do you mean by setting the grid? Do you mean the note interval? I've got mine at 1/4 notes. |

Yep. That's the way it works. :( It's one of the things on the MIDI side that REALLY needs to be fixed in Pro Tools. I never see much concern about it round here though. Weird. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm new to Pro Tools (as you can tell, haha), but I have never faced such a basic issue in any other DAW (Cubase, Live, etc.). Heck, I think I've even seen peoples' Fruity Loops sessions on YouTube that had such automation, haha. So weird that PT has not implemented this! But anyways, is there a way to get the automation points to be "finer" in steps for when I try to automate things like a pitch wheel? As in, to reduce the spacing in in-between the automation points? Thanks! |

I don't know if this works but have anyone tried turning grid off?

What's important is what you actually hear. When I draw a (MIDI) line in Logic, I don't see steps, and I don't hear steps. When I draw a line in Pro Tools, I do see (sometimes tiny) steps, but I don't hear steps. Same result. Doesn't make any difference to me to be honest - in fact sometimes it's may even be a cool reminder that you're looking at MIDI information, not audio... |

What I could really use is breakpoint based MIDI automation. |
