Oh... yeah! true. Good point. I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder. Now, do I need to do anything within the plug to tell it to write the automation, or not since I have the box checked in preferences. I mean, obviously, I'll have to move the popup down to write instead of read, and when done, move from latch back over to read, but that goes without saying.

Chris.

Chris,
The only thing I would add, is you'd want to create a static pass with
the plug bypassed prior to playing the selection. Same steps as how we
created the volume automation in pro tool Mixing modual.

Hey, no problem bro!  Take your time.  No rush.  I, do! however wonder if
you or someone else can answer a little something regarding that check box
for me though.

How would I go about doing automation with a plugin on a track? Basically,

let's say for sake of example that on a vocal track, I wanted a 7 band E Q.

But! I don't want to instantiate it over the entire session. Could I set my

automation window with command+num pad 4 to capture plugin automation, then

make sure the plugin is set to write automation, then just turn on bypass? Then, select the part of the audio where I want my E Q to kick in, set the
track automation to write, unbypass the plugin, hit play, and letter rip?
Is that pretty much essentially how I'd do it, or am I a little sloppy at my

method?

Chris.

Chris,
I'm not sure if in prefferences you have the check box to make all
plugin parameters automatable, but if so, unchecking this and
reinstantiating the plugin seemed to make the behavior go back to
working as it should.
I don't have time to investigate this right at this moment, as I am in
the midst of mixing, on a tight deadline, but when I'm done, I'll
revisit this to determine if this is a consistent problem.
Thanks.

So... first off, yes.  I can! confirm that the issue Matthew Diemert is
having with the plugin parameters resetting when playing is not just
him.
I, too am noticing this odd behavior in PT 11. Again, I can confirm just

as

Matt said, that this isn't occuring in any build of PT 10.  It's only
happening in version 11.X.

Just out of a hunch, I tried something, and what do you know, it worked.
What I did... let's just take his example with the 7 band E Q.  I would
instantiate the plugin on... let's just say, insert A, for the sake of
simplisity. Now, without choosing a plugin, I go down to the high pass
filter, and set the parameter to in.  This way it's enabled.  Then I go
down

to each band and set my configuration tweaks. Now, I hit space bar. It plays fine. I stop with space bar, then, I hit space bar again to play.

As

soon as I do, the parameters get set back to default values, therefore
killing the tweaks I did.

So here's what I did to get around this.  And, by the way, though it's
not
very practical necessarily, I'll definitely grant you that, it does!
consistently seem to be working for the time being.  If you go into the
plugin's settings menu, regardless which plugin you're using, the E Q
was
only an example... the possibilities are literally endless, drop open
that
settings menu, and go to save preset. Now, save the preset with a name.
Don't! and I repeat, don't! change the default directory where it's
trying
to save the preset to.  If you do, you risk PT not being able later to
find

it.  You want it showing up in your librarian menu, so keep that set as
is.

Go ahead though and name the preset, then hit save.

OK, now, if the parameters get reset, go back to the librarian menu, and
pick your custom made saved preset.  Once you do, it'll snap to, and
lock
on.  By that, I mean, it'll stay put.  Those parameters won't reset on
ya.
Again, I totally totally get that this is really not a very good
workflow.
I agree whole heartedly, but hey!  It does! work.  It might be a sloppy
way

a doing it, but for the time being, it looks like this is the sollution
work

around, so I hope that helps you guys, as far as that goes.

Now, on to my! problem.  So, I have a theory what may be going on, and
I'm
gonna be testing my theory out here in a bit, but I'm noticing that when

I

hit command+option+num pad plus or minus whilst no audio is selected,
the
nudge value doesn't seem to want to be changing like it used to.  Yes.
Link

timeline in selection, and link track in edit selection or whatever it's called are both checked. There was one more option there in the options
menu that needs to be checked, but I don't recall what it says.  I know
it
when I see it, but I'm not at my mac right now to look. I will! however

say

that I do! remember it being checked though, no question.

This is making doing my command+shift+num pad plus and minus very
difficult,

as I'm moving a bit too far each way.  So, I'm trying to adjust that a
bit
and make the nudge slope if you will for lack of better term a bit
less...
Actually... quite a bit! less.  It's not happening though.  I'm getting
no
result at all.  Yes.  All the tracks which I need to manipulate are
definitely selected. I made double dawg sure of this, so that's not the
problem, I don't think.  By the way, this is happenning both in V 10,
and!
in V 11.  I admit that I've not tried manually going into the edit
window
and changing it through the nudge value control.  For all intents and
purpose, that would be more tedious for the project I'm trying to do.
That

said, I can try it, if you all would like me to, and report back.  What
my
theory is though is, earlier back, about a week ago, when I first got PT

11,

I was working on a session which I was cross mixing between V 10 and V
11.
Mainly as I have some plugs in V 10 that are also in 11, but 11 has some
stuff not in 10.  So I started recording in 10, then moved to 11 to
instantiate the things I needed from it.  Anyhow, I went into the
counter
cluster in the edit window and set it to bars/beats. So now, I opened a

new

session.  I then immediately did my command+shift+I to import an audio
file.

I browsed for the karaoke track I wanna sing on top of.  When I went
back
and looked later on, I remembered that the counter cluster was on
bars/beats.  Obviously, this isn't gonna really work with a karaoke
track.
So, I set it back to mins/secs.  What I'm wonderring is, being I did
that
*after!* key word, importing the audio, could that! be what is making my nudge value not work, and kind a screw up? Did I maybe confuse ProTools

a
bit by doing it that way? Should I first have set it back to mins/secs?
Then? started importing, or recording from scratch?  That's the only
thing I

can think which may! potentially be causing this, as I've literally done
nothing whatsoever aside from that differently since it was working.

So, yeah... any ideas?

Chris.
