|
|
time.</p><p>Up to now, we have used fixed values for various parameters of our tracks, for
|
|
example, a track fader set to -3.0dB; or a mono panner set to 100% left. These
|
|
fixed values would apply for the entire track throughout the whole session.</p><p>But what if you would like these values to change over time in a
|
|
pre-determined way? For example, you may want to have the gain of a track to
|
|
gradually decrease over twenty seconds. Or you may want to make a sound move
|
|
from left to right over two seconds.</p><p>This is accomplished with automation. The fader, panning, and any of the
|
|
parameters of the plugins used in that track can be automated. An automated
|
|
parameter is displayed underneath the parent track in its own <em>automation
|
|
track</em>. Automation data is visually represented as an <em>automation line</em>, made
|
|
up of a number of <em>automation points</em>. Here’s how a track with automation
|
|
looks like:</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Fader_1.png alt="Typical automation lane"></figure><p>In the image above, the automation lane called <em>Fader</em> is associated to the
|
|
parent track called <em>Audio 1</em>. The automation line controls fader (volume)
|
|
changes over time.</p><h2 id=creating-a-fader-automation-line>Creating a Fader Automation Line</h2><p>Let’s create a simple fader automation. Click the <strong>A</strong> button of a chosen
|
|
track. A menu will appear, where you can select the parameter you would like to
|
|
automate. Choose <em>Fader</em>.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Button.png alt="Choose Fader"></figure><p>An automation lane will then appear. Select the <em>Draw</em> mode (<strong>D</strong> shortcut):</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_EditModes_D.png alt="Draw mode"></figure><p>Now you can create automation points by clicking anywhere in the automation
|
|
lane. An automation line joins the automation points you add. The yellow number
|
|
(-15.3dB in the image below) indicates the gain level for the selected
|
|
automation point.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Fader_2.png alt="Automation point value indication"></figure><h3 id=automation-states>Automation States</h3><p>The automation curve will not play, however, until you set the automation state
|
|
to <em>Play</em>.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Fader_3.png alt="automation state"></figure><dl><dt><strong>Manual</strong></dt><dd>When set to <em>Manual</em>, the track will ignore any automation data. It will just
|
|
play with whatever volume is the fader is set to. In this mode, you are able to
|
|
move the track fader by hand to set a new fixed level. That’s the default
|
|
behavior of a track when it’s first created.</dd><dt><strong>Play</strong></dt><dd>When set to <em>Play</em>, the track will automatically change the gain levels
|
|
following the automation curve drawn in the automation lane. You will no longer
|
|
be able to move the track fader by hand. During playback, you will see the track
|
|
fader moving up and down according to the curve.</dd><dt><strong>Write</strong></dt><dd>This mode will continuously record user changes to the automated parameter as
|
|
the transport plays, creating an automation line. For instance, you may start
|
|
playback and then make real-time changes in gain using the fader of your track.
|
|
All the changes you make will be written (recorded) as an automation line, which
|
|
then you can play back later by switching the automation mode back to <em>Play</em>.</dd><dt><strong>Touch</strong></dt><dd>This mode is similar to the <em>Write</em> mode but it won’t record over existing
|
|
automation data unless the parameter is being changed.</dd></dl><p>If these concepts are new to you, focus now on just the first two modes
|
|
(<em>Manual</em> and <em>Play</em>) and practice creating automation by drawing automation
|
|
curves by hand.</p><h2 id=creating-a-plugin-for-automation>Creating a Plugin for Automation</h2><p>You may add automation to any plugin which has already been added to a track. In
|
|
the example below, we have the <em>AM pitchshifter</em> plugin added to a track.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Plugin1.png alt=pluginautomation1></figure><p>In order to select a plugin parameter for automation, click the button on the
|
|
track marked <em>a</em>. The menu will appear. Under <em>Processor Automation</em> you will
|
|
find a listing of the plugins you have added for that track.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Plugin2.png alt=pluginautomation2></figure><p>Within each listed plugin, you may choose which parameter you want to automate
|
|
from a list. In the example, we chose the <em>Pitch shift</em> parameter of the <em>AM
|
|
pitchshifter</em> plugin. An automation lane for that parameter appears. Note that
|
|
as you open several automation lanes, they will appear one after the other
|
|
below the main parent track.</p><p>Draw an automation curve for that parameter. Don’t forget to set the automation
|
|
state to <em>Play</em>.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Plugin3.png alt=pluginautomation3></figure><p>In the image above, the pitch shift of the sound is now changing over time,
|
|
controlled by the curve.</p><div class="box notices tip"><div class=box-label><i class="fas fa-lightbulb fa-fw"></i> Tip</div><div class=box-content><p>You can hide an automation lane by clicking on the “X” at the upper left corner
|
|
of the automation lane. Note that a hidden automation lane continues to function
|
|
even when it is not visible.</p></div></div><h2 id=adding-better-visual-resolution-to-automation>Adding Better Visual Resolution to Automation</h2><p>You can achieve a greater amount of vertical precision by increasing the height
|
|
of the automation lane. Move your cursor near the lower edge of the automation
|
|
track. The pointer turns into a vertical double arrow. Drag it down to increase
|
|
the height of the automation lane. Notice that the parent track and the
|
|
automation lane heights are independent, so while working in your automation
|
|
curves you might set them up like this:</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Plugin4.png alt=pluginautomation5></figure><div class="box notices tip"><div class=box-label><i class="fas fa-lightbulb fa-fw"></i> Tip</div><div class=box-content><p>Remember that you can also zoom in and out to increase resolution in the
|
|
horizontal axis.</p></div></div><h2 id=working-with-automation-points>Working with Automation Points</h2><p>There are several ways to adjust automation points, depending on the editing
|
|
mode you are in:</p><ul><li>An automation point can be dragged in any direction with the mouse (works in
|
|
<em>Grab</em>, <em>Draw</em>, and <em>Edit</em> modes).</li><li>To remove an automation point, hold down the <strong>Shift</strong> key while
|
|
right-clicking on it (works in <em>Grab</em>, <em>Draw</em>, and <em>Edit</em> modes).</li><li><em>Edit</em> mode only: any segment of the automation line between automation points
|
|
may be dragged vertically, affecting both end points at once, without affecting
|
|
their horizontal position. Simply click somewhere on the line between two
|
|
points, and drag up and down.</li><li>How to delete multiple automation points at once (<em>Grab</em> mode and <em>Edit</em> mode
|
|
only): select multiple automation points by dragging a box starting on the track
|
|
background around the points. Then the selected points may be deleted by hitting
|
|
<strong>Delete</strong> (<em>not</em> <strong>Backspace</strong>). If you are on a Mac and do not have a true
|
|
<strong>Delete</strong> key, try <strong>Function + Backspace</strong>.</li></ul><p>After an automation curve ends, its value will stay at that level for all
|
|
subsequent regions, whether or not you have drawn a continuation of the curve.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Fader_End.png alt="end point"></figure><p>In the example above, the last point of the curve is at -23dB. That same level
|
|
will be kept for the remainder of the track, even though the line is not drawn
|
|
until the end.</p><h2 id=moving-automation>Moving Automation</h2><p>Moving a region to a new location will automatically move the automation data
|
|
that might be aligned with it, as we can see in the following screen shots.</p><p>Before moving:</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Moving_1.png alt=mv1></figure><p>After moving:</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Moving_2.png alt=mv2></figure><p>You can change this behavior if you like. In other words, if you want automation
|
|
curves to stay where they are even when you move regions around, go to <code>Edit > Preferences > Editor</code> and uncheck <em>Move relevant automation when audio regions
|
|
are moved</em>.</p><h2 id=region-specific-gain-automation>Region-specific Gain Automation</h2><p>There is a way to create a gain automation directly bound to a region. When you
|
|
select the <em>Draw</em> mode, you should see a flat line on the top half of each
|
|
region rectangle:</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Region_Specific_1.png alt=gain-automation></figure><p>Click directly on that line to create automation points. These will be drawn
|
|
directly on the region itself, unlike fader automation which is drawn or
|
|
recorded in the automation lane. Region gain automation is separate from, and
|
|
in addition to, fader automation.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Region_Specific_2.png alt=gain-automation2></figure><p>As with the automation lanes, a <em>gain automation point</em> can be dragged in any
|
|
direction with the mouse. To remove a gain automation point, hold down the
|
|
<strong>Shift</strong> key while right-clicking on it.</p><h3 id=deactivating-and-removing-gain-automation>Deactivating and Removing Gain Automation</h3><p>Gain automation can be reset or deactivated from the region context menu, which
|
|
is reached by right-clicking on the region.</p><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Gain_Tool_Reset.png alt=gain-automation3></figure><p>Here, the gain automation is referred to as the <em>envelope</em>:</p><ul><li><em>Reset Envelope</em> removes the gain automation points you have drawn in the
|
|
region.</li><li><em>Envelope Active</em> toggles the gain automation envelope on and off.</li></ul><h3 id=when-should-i-use-region-gain-automation-or-track-fader-automation>When should I use region Gain Automation or Track Fader Automation?</h3><p>As seen above, both are very similar. With practice you will notice situations
|
|
in which one is more convenient than the other. Here are two examples:</p><ul><li>If all you need to do is a little touch up (cut or boost gain) in a specific
|
|
portion of a region, and you are otherwise happy with the level for the rest of
|
|
the passage or entire track, use the region-specific automation.</li></ul><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Region_Specific_2.png alt=gain-example1></figure><ul><li>If you have a more complex track with crossfades over regions, and/or need to
|
|
shape a longer dynamic curve across several regions on the same track, use fader
|
|
automation.</li></ul><figure><img src=en/Ardour4_Automation_Gain_Comparison.png alt=gain-automation2></figure><p>The screenshot above shows a simple gradual fade starting from the first region
|
|
in the track, and ending at the last region. It’s very straightforward to do
|
|
this with fader automation, but but it would be much harder to do it using
|
|
region-specific automation.</p><h2 id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>Once you have your automation in place, you are just about ready to export your
|
|
stereo mix to an audio file which you can listen to or share on a website.
