Why use 'Punch Auto Preview' and not just 'Write Auto to Selection?
Can someone tell me why you need to ever use 'Punch Automation Preview'. I always audition in Preview mode then when ready just hit 'Write Automation to Selection'.
Am I missing something? Should I be hitting 'Punch Auto Preview' as well. I do have alot of automation not writing from my Dcommand????? |

You don't need to use Punch before pressing Write To All. Either way, anything you changed will be written within the current time selection. You'd use Punch if you wanted to start writing your Previewed mix values in real time.

Re: Why use 'Punch Auto Preview' and not just 'Write Auto to Selection?
Punch will only write automation points on the parameters that you have touched/isolated in the selection. Where Write to All will write automation to all parameters that are write enabled in the selection, whether you touched them or not.
So using Write to All is good when you want to 'lock' down a section and prevent inadvertent changes that might easily occur to that section when working on another section.

You're thinking of Automation>Write To All Enabled. That writes to everything (within the Edit Selection)
Write to All writes isolated parameters within a time range (Punch doesn't influence this) |

I use it quite a bit actually, although I've been using write preview to selection a bit more now.
I'll use preview, loop a section, setup my changes, then rollback, and hit punch when I get to where I want to have the change. Then if needed automatch out. |

Which method would one use if you wanted to write new auto for one plug-in on a track (say, the Cedar), but not disturb the others (EQ and Dynamics) without manually "Safeing" the ones you want to protect?
Thanks! |

1 -Go into preview mode. play the scene and get the settings you want. (nothing is actually written in preview. when you are happy. 2-Select the range on the timeline you want those settings to be writen over. 3-hit 'punch preview' -now you can play through the scene writing the settings (and bumping and wiggling as you go) or you can hit 'all' and write the currently active automation settings to the selection made before you hit play. Hope that helps All the best Bruno |
