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.
