3. Move the fader until you have found the volume setting you need in the chorus and
release the fader to punch out.
The volume curve is set from the point of punch out back to where you punched in.
The values written while moving the fader to find the right value are deleted, and
the volume jumps at exactly the right moment from the value set in the verse to the
value found for the chorus.
To Start
“To Start” is similar to the “To Punch” option, but with the following difference: When
“To Start” is selected, punching out of automation will fill the automation track from
where you punched out to the start of the project.
To End
Let’s assume you are automating volume for the background tracks of a two-minute
part in your project. Rather than holding the fader for two minutes, you can proceed as
follows:
1. Select “Touch” as automation mode and click the “To End” button once to activate
it as Fill option.
The “To End” button is highlighted.
2. Start playback and touch the parameter control to punch in the automation pass.
3. Move the fader until you have found the setting you want and release the fader.
This will punch out the writing of automation data. As you let go of the fader, the
automation curve will take the found value setting, from where you punched out to
the end of the project.
Loop
To use the Loop option, you must first set up a loop range with the left and right
locators. When you then select Loop, punching out will set the found value within the
range defined by the left and right locator.
