Writing Automation to Multiple Clips in Pro Tools


Eric Lawrence

Recommended Posts

I own Pro Tools 9 and have seen on HD systems the ability to write automation to a single clip and then write that same automation to multiple clips and I am wondering if that feature is available in non-HD systems.

 

For example, if am trying to remove room noise using Waves WNS and want to apply the same noise reduction gathered from one clip, to all other clips from the same room, is there a way to in other words copy and paste that automation so that I don't have to be constantly re-running that plugin and potentially getting different noise reduction results?

If it's the exact same setting, I believe you could store that as a preset, then select all the specific clips, bring up the plug-in, and pull down that setting for all of them. I think this will work.

 

I agree that the DUC will have the answers:

select all the clips you want to change, the audio suite will add the changes to all selected files and clips.

 

 

Group the tracks you want to write to, arm them for automation writing, write away.

 

So it obviously sounds like Preview and Write to Selection are not available in non-HD versions, but these options sound like a perfect solution. Thanks!
