Vocal Strip Automation

Works just fine following the img descriptions below.

Open up the fx
Arm for Writing
Automate the Global On/Off or the Doubler On/Off
Press play and record your actions then UnArm

You will need to have the voxfx window open - Click "Write" on the Fx Panel at the top/right. Then press play and click the buttons you want to automate directly within the effect window. I don't think we can automate bypass fx buttons or (On/Off) in the fx bin.


Edit -> Look closely at the 3 red boxes I put on the illustration. Start at the top right corner.

Thanks, guys.  I have learned something plus got a couple of workaround options.

As much as I would hate going back to tape, there are moments when I miss the real-time mixing experience and the ability to make a quick dub without a lot of hassle.  But, if I went back, I would be frustrated by the limitations.

I could swear I've used several on/off or bypass automations in sonar before. Are you sure it doesn't work? 

I tried it - doesn't work that way here. You have to arm the plug and work inside of the plug's window to automate the controls on the fly. Or - you could go about it the other way and create an automation envelope, in this case for "plugin enable" and manually insert the automation points. Both ways work as advertised.

Glad you got this working! I hear you on the balance of missing the tape world and having the perks of digital recording software. Even though I had logic audio from the beginning to 5.53, I still stuck primarily with my 16 track fostex/smpte. Then again, computers were huffing and puffing to do a lot back then. So I would output to DAT and bring the mix into Soundforge/CoolEdit or logic to do some cleanup work. Come to think of it, I don't miss it that much.   :)

Thanks, everyone.  I was able to automate this within the effect itself instead of using the on/off switch in the FX bin.  This opens a world of possibilities for me, so I greatly appreciate the help.
