wing Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I noticed the keyboard shortcut menu has the following options: Create 1 Track Automation Point for visible parameter Create 2 Track Automation Points for visible parameter (and alternatively for regions and vol/pan/sends etc) However I tried them out and they appear to have the same exact functionality - no matter what "create 2 track automation points" only creates 1. I've zoomed out and tested multiple tracks to be sure - it never creates more than 1 point. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried selecting the tracks, selecting regions, selecting with the marquee tool, and it's the same. I searched the manual and google for this and could find no documentation about these. But if I can I'd like to properly set 2 automation points in one keystroke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Move the playhead away from 1.1.1.1 and try again ? (Guessing here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wing Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 It happens anywhere on the timeline. Since there isn't any official documentation on these (at least that I could find), what exactly is Create 2 automation points meant to do? Like 2 points surrounding a selection or something? That is my guess but I could be missing something here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Atlas007 Posted December 1, 2021 Solution Share Posted December 1, 2021 I’m not at the studio to confirm same, but IIRW, the "Create 2 Track Automation Points for visible parameter" will create 2 superposed points (making one masked by the other) on each end of a selection. Dragging up or down the automation selection between those visible points will create a ladder step, revealing the 2 points on each end of that selection. One of those 2 points being the original automation level and the second being the levelled step one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tad convoluted (I was assuming it meant it creates around a selection which is why I was confused why it looked like just one), but sure enough when I drag apart the second point is revealed. Thanks for helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakobP Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 It happens anywhere on the timeline... Yeah sorry, wasn't very clear there... If you enter the command on a track without any automation, one automation point will be created at 1.1.1.1 and the other on playhead position... EDIT Disregard this post and read the correct answer from Atlas... (Both commands do what I wrote, but second one creates two points at playhead) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
