Working with StudioWare
External Devices
button to make sure that automation parameters and changes made on the
external MIDI device are displayed in the StudioWare panel. Turn this
option off if you do not want to see these changes.
If you are recording a snapshot while playback is in progress, you should
probably disable Update. Otherwise, some of the controls may move as a
result of previously recorded automation events, even while you are trying
to position them correctly.
When you are recording real-time control movements, you probably want
Update enabled, so that the controls will show the events that have already
been recorded.
If you record automation data on a track that contains linked clips, SONAR
automatically unlinks the clips so that the automation data do not apply to
other instances of the linked clip. As an example, suppose you have four
repetitions of a particular riff, stored in four linked clips that play in
sequence. When you record a fade-out over these four clips, SONAR
automatically splits the clips into four independent clips, each with
automation data representing some portion of the fade.
If you record a snapshot of control positions on a track that contains linked
clips, the clips remain linked, and the snapshot applies to all copies of the
linked clip.
If you are not happy with the automation data you recorded, you can always
use the Edit-Undo command to remove it.
The automation data you record using a StudioWare panel can be
displayed and edited using either the Notes pane in the Piano Roll view or
the Event List view. For more information on the Controller pane, see
“Controllers, RPNs, NRPNs, and Automation Data” on page 482Controllers,
RPNs, NRPNs, and Automation Data. For more information on the Event
List view, see “The Event List View” on page 486The Event List View.
To Record a Snapshot While Playback Is Stopped
1. Set the Now time to the point in the project where you want the settings
to take effect.
2. Move the controls to the settings you desire.
3. Click .
SONARHome Studio records a snapshot of the current control settings.
If the Now time is the very beginning of the project, then the snapshot will
change the track parameters to match the controls in the panel instead of
recording automation events.
