Sorry. I am right. You can choose track and bus automation and cut it out of a specified area. Unfortunately, if there's any track or bus automation that you want to keep in that area, it will be removed as well. You don't have access to specific automation snapshots in the bus pane because there's no event list view for the bus pane. So, once you close the project, you're screwed. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Wicketts Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 10:49 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: snapshot Hi Darren, I'm aware that bus tracks are for routing, but the snapshots must surely be putting events on the specified bus channel? I just can't seem to workout how to isolate the snapshot events on the bus channels. I'm controlling the speed of the fade by setting the track at lest say 12 bars 3 beats and 240 ticks and then taking a snapshot of the level and then moving forward another 16th by setting the track at 12 bars 3 beats 480 ticks lowering the level slightly and taking another snap shot and so on. This gives a nice level control of the All Instruments bus. I end up with the music on the All Instruments Bus fading in and out, complementing the Voice Over bus. I know this can be done with compressors, however, I'm fading down before the voice starts, giving a more subtle change. My problem is, when I'm tired I occasionally miss calculate the fade. I would like the be able to go back to it the next day and make changes. I Hope that Kevin isn't right when he says I'm screwed?

I might be wrong, but I don't think so as the bus tracks don't actually have anything recorded on them. Or at least that's what logic would tell me.

I dip the level to early on one part of the track and can't find how to delete these snapshots. Please can anyone help?
