Intermittent Automation Problems
I'm an occasional user of Pro Tools to mix simple commercials, generally with music and a voice.
However I have a repeated problem with automation - during playback from the beginning of an ad it seems to forget the automation volume written into the track and appears high. This generally happens after I have reached the end of the ad i.e. I undertake repeated takes in touch mode on sections of the voice until it is peaking at 6 and not overpeaking. However when I then go to play back from the beginning, its as if it hasn't been mixed properly, and is worst than when I started! This isn't the way I left it, but I haven't revisted this section of the ad since it was right. Also, another issue (which I think could be related): When opening a completed mix by another user this also played very high when I played it back and yet it was also mixed correctly! This happened when I simply opened the session and pressed play with automation in read mode so I am unsure what I'm doing wrong. This repeatedly happens intermittently to me and I'm sure it's a simple thing but not sure what. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance! |

Re: Intermittent Automation Problems
Check that Automation is not "Suspended"
Check that you have volume automation enabled to be written to. |

Re: Intermittent Automation Problems
Hi Danny
Thanks for your reply. I'm on Pro Tools TDM 7.3(.2 I think) on a G5 Power PC linked to a Yamaha surface controller/desk. I believe the system is up to date patches wise etc. Laki, I believe I have the volume automation set and haven't changed the 'Suspended' settings tho I will double check this on Monday. It'd an odd issue as it happens intermittently and our Dubbing Mixer doesn't have this problem and we are both failing to see what I am doing wrong! Thanks everyone |
