Guys, never mind, as far as my automation problem goes. I got it working.
I see exactly! what I was doing wrong. I was correct in my initial
observation. You don't wanna change the parameters of the plugin until
you've first set your automation to write. I was setting it while it was on
read, then! was going and changing the track to write, only after! I had
changed the settings in Auto-Tune. Then, after setting to write, I then was
playing the selection to be automated. That doesn't work, apparently. It
seems like, the correct order is:
1. Create your bypass automation.
2. Next, find the beginning and end marks where you want your automation,
and make your selection.
3. Make sure your automation window is set correctly with command+numpad 4.
4. This is where I went wrong. Now, instead of setting your plugin
configuration, then going to write, do it the other way around. Go to write
on the track, Then! change your plug settings.
5. Then! play your selectin through.
OK, so anyway, that's done. Now, here is my totally unrelated question. I
used to put my reverb for vocals on an insert of the actual vocal track
itself. Then, I'd set my wet mix on that plugin, and be done with it. Now,
what I am doing is, I'm using a send on the vofal track/tracks, whichever is
needed, and I'm sending them out to a stereo auxiliary track. Then, on that
auxiliary track, I'm popping the reverb on an insert, then am turning the
wet mix all the way up as high as it will go. Literally, I am maxing it
totally out to 100%. Now, you're probably now going Oh! Ow! Yikes? alive!
Damn! Chris? Can you be more stupid? Hold, on! I'm not done yet. No I'm
not! Then, I take the output volume fader of that auxiliary track, and I
crank it way, and did I mention, w'w'wayyyy! the hell down! Usually I start
around -16DB, and sometimes even lower than that. Then, I start very very
gradually riding that fader up. As I do, I introduce more reverb into the
mix. My question is, doing it this way on a send, bumping that wet all the
way up, then barely barely! cranking that Aux fader, why is it, that that is
giving me, such! a nicer! sweeter and warmer sound! Oh my God, it's
incredible! I can't believe! the difference that made! The first time I
heard the effect of doing it that way, I was absolutely breathtaken! So,
what is the over all reason for this sounding so much better! What is going
on in the processing behind the scene that makes this so much prettier?
Anyway, thank you all again for your help!
Chris.
