328 Chapter 7 Automation
Conversion of Automation Data
Track Automation data can be converted into MIDI data for Region Based automation,
and vice versa. These commands are found in the Options > Track Automation menu.
These functions allow you to move data (Volume, Pan, plug-in parameters, and so on)
from Regions in the Arrange window to the Track Based Automation system, and vice
versa—moving data from the Track Based Automation to Region Based (last two
functions). Ensure that at least one Region is selected when using these functions.
Converting automation data
In the automation view:
• Command-clicking on an automated parameter will activate the parameter pop-up
menu.
• Select a destination parameter in the menu.
• A dialog will ask you to “convert” or “copy & convert” the original parameter’s
automation data into automation data for the destination parameter. A “copy &
convert” of the original parameter data is kept, in addition to the destination
parameter.
