Default Automation Overview

[AUTOMATION OVERVIEW]

One more for 2020. Let's take a tour of basic and advanced automation functions on the console. We'll be using S4 once again - however these functions are also identical on S6 systems.

We will be performing the vast majority of the moves while accessing the 1st automation QuickJump by holding Shift on the track color switches (from any Fader Module or Channelstrip Module) while pressing 1 on the numpad of the Automation Module. This give us access to all of the essential and advanced functions for changing automation modes, invoking Preview, Capture, Write to's and more.

A few handy navigational functions to consider when working with automation and mixing:

From the top level of the Soft Keys Extras page toggle Insertion Follows Playback.
Use the Back or Back + Play switches on the transport while Insertion Follows is active.
Use the Trim button left of the wheel to quickly move the playhead.
Use the Down Arrow to clear an existing selection range.
Use Mark In and Mark Out (above the numpad) plus the wheel to define a selection.
Use Auto Match from the Auto 2 Soft Keys to un-prime parameters while in Latch.
