Automation Snapshots

[RecRoom]

Is there a way in ProTools to save more than one automation snapshot? I know you can save several when using a D-Command, is this feature available to those without a D-command?

Hi

Make a selection or select the clip or tracks where you want to make a snapshot.
Now with keys or from the menue do "Write to current or write to all enabled".

This way you can have as many snapshots as you need.
Just look at the menue to see what options you have

That's not quite what I am talking about. Using the Capture button on the automation window you are able to store all of your track parameters into a capture buffer. This includes all of your plugins, panning, level, etc. You can then punch those parameters into different selections wherever you choose. With a D-command you are able to save these capture buffers... I believe up to 48 snapshots.

Useful when you have the same scene come up at different times.

Do you mean going back to a selection, were your desired automation is; Alt+Capturing it, and punching that to a new selection ?

Why is it not so good to copy special all automation of the previous scene and paste special/repeat to fill to the following same scene ?

You can´t.
Buy artist control, you´ll get 48 snapshots on it.

Oh really? Thought that was only for D-Command and D-Control. Good to know.

Well, If I wanted to just copy an EQ setting, I would Command+Shift+C and paste it, but I want to copy the EQ, Panning, and Aux levels, you can Option+Shift and click capture and then option+shift punch at the desired place.

I need to experiment with Alt+Shift+Capture befor asking any new question ... .
