Shifting everything... how to?

[cwhite771]

I have a session where a number of songs were recorded one after another (live). I had later messed around with some fades/muting/volume changes. Now, for one song I want to be able to shift all of the tracks and all their related automation to the beginning of the session (don't worry, I duplicated the original session file)... but I can't seem to be able to figure it out... I can only move the audio. In all of my years using PT, I've never had to do this and I'm sure it's simple. I feel like such a n00b.

What's the secret?

Thanks in advance.

Select all of the audio you want to move, then use cut and paste. The underlying automation goes with the audio.

Tried that... same result... not working. The automation stays where it was, only the audio moves. I must be missing a preference setting somewhere or something.

Yes, there is a preference called "Automation Follows Edit", or something like that. Make sure it's checked.

The search tool of this forum really makes sense.
