hey guys, i'm using sonar x1 essentials and the ez drummer dfh expansion pack integrated in my daw. when ever i make any changes to the drums on my console view there are little black lines that show where ive made an edit. how do i get rid of these? hope i've explained that ok

thanks

james.

i mean this in terms of getting rid of all of them at once as opposed to highlighting each one an eleting them

I'm not sure I understand the question. Where in the Console view are these black marks? Do you mean the track view?

ah apologies, yea i mean the track view

I wonder if you are seeing automation envelopes. Is the "W" in the track header partially or completely red?

its completely red i do believe, im not at my music computer at the moment i will heck when i get home. what are automation envelopes?

Automation envelopes are created when you activate the Automation write function (hence it is red)

It records any movements you make to any armed controls such as volume fader, pan control etc. When you next play the project back the controls will follow this automation.

It's a useful tool while mixing. A simple example would be to increase the volume of an instrument while it plays a solo and then reduce it again when it has finished the solo.

Just about any parameter can be recorded EQ controls, plugins, soft synths etc. Click on the track "W" or the one in the mixing module in the control bar to turn it off.

Use the Edit-->Delete function to delete it but make sure you deselect the other options in the delete dialogue though or you'll delete any data on the track as well.

ah i see, ok thanks, i'll try this when i get home

thanks again

barts.
