Can I Record Real-Time Expression/Mod Data in MIDI Tracks?
I watched a Lynda tutorial where a guy recorded real-time automation data with his mouse using the slider in Pro Tools.
However, this was on an audio track and I haven't been able to find this feature for MIDI tracks using VSTs so I'm assuming you need a hardware controller to record expression and mod data - either that or draw it in with the pencil tool. Is this correct? I'll be happy if I'm wrong Thank you! |

I'm afraid you need a hardware controller.
However, for auto-enabled parameters in virtual instruments, you can click'n'drag directly on the VI to record automation. I always use Latch mode.

Thanks Stig!
For my Play instruments, I see controls for volume and pan but I think that's the extent of it. I'll make a point of getting a controller. |

You can move the slider with touch or latch on and write volume data, select and copy it, then make a new lane like expression for example, and "paste special" to current automation type.
