Automating Individual Effects Parameters
You can automate the parameters of some of SONAR’s effects by drawing
envelopes, or recording fader movements, or creating snapshots.
To Record Fader or Knob Movements for an Individual Effect’s
Parameters
1. Patch an automatable effect into the track or bus where you want to use it,
and close the effect’s dialog box when it appears.
2. In the track or bus where you patched the effect, right-click the name of the
effect and select Arm Parameter from the popup menu (if the effect is not
automatable, that choice is greyed-out on the menu).
The effect’s envelope dialog box appears, listing all the parameters you can
arm in the Param Armed list.
3. Check all the parameters you want to automate at this time (caution: it’s
difficult to move more than one control when you are recording) and click OK.
4. Double-click the effect’s name to open its dialog box; make sure that the dialog
box does not block SONAR’s transport controls.
5. Start recording by clicking the Record Automation button that’s in the
Transport toolbar, and move the knobs or faders that control the relevant
parameters.
6. When you finish moving the knobs and faders, click the Stop button in the
Transport toolbar.
Play back the track and listen to the result. Then you can either re-record the
automation or disarm the parameters. You can disarm all armed parameters at
once by clicking the red Aut indicator that’s in the Status bar at the bottom of the
SONAR window, or by clicking the Disarm All Automation Controls button
that’s in the Automation toolbar.
To Draw Envelopes for an Individual Effect’s Parameters
1. Patch an automatable effect into the track or bus where you want to use it,
and close the effect’s dialog box when it appears.
2. Right-click in the Clips pane in the track (or bus) where you patched the effect.
The Clips pane or Bus pane popup menu appears.
3. If you opened the Clips pane popup menu, choose Envelopes-Create Track
Envelope-(name of the effect you patched). If you opened the Bus pane
popup menu, choose Create Bus Envelope-(name of the effect you
patched).
The effect’s envelope dialog box appears, listing all the parameters you can
automate in the Envelope Exists list.
