Automating Amplitube

[Harpo]

I thought I read somewhere that automation could be applied to plugins. Is it possible to automate Amplitube? Things like...turning an effect (flanger, chorus) on and off at different points in the track? I gave it a weak attempt once and it didn't seem to work.

Seems simpler to do it that way than running two tracks of Amplitube. (One with the flanger, one without)

yep. click on the "auto" button on the plugin, and then choose the parameters you want to be able to control with automation, and add them. then in the track view, change from waveform to the parameter you want, and go nuts.

How do you automate changing amp sounds? not the individual parameters. thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know if it's because everyone who writes these automation directions is using another version of Pro Tools than me (and all the other people saying "it just doesn't work") or what, but THERE IS A STEP MISSING from these directions. After you add the parameters you want to change via the AUTO button on Amplitube, you have to right-click the Amplitube plugin in the track in question in Pro Tools and choose "Automation Dialog." There you can see the parameter and add it to the list on the right side. Click Ok and voilà, you can click on the "Playlists/Waveform/whatever you currently have selected" button, choose the parameter and draw it in. Or you know, use the Write function and do it intuitively during playback if that's what floats your boat.

To summarize:

• Open the Amplitube plugin, click AUTO (all the way on the bottom right), find the parameter you want to change and add it to the list on the right.
  OR to do it in a simpler way:
• Right-click the parameter you want to change, Assign Automation and put it in one of the parameters
  Whatever you chose above, you can now proceed as follows:
• Right-click the Amplitube plugin in the track in question in Pro Tools and choose "Automation Dialog." There you can see the parameter and add it to the list on the right side. Click Ok.
• Voilà, you can now click on the "Playlists/Waveform/whatever you currently have selected" button, choose the parameter and draw it in. Or you know, use the Write function and do it intuitively during playback if that's what floats your boat.
