Record automation in Session view without audio or which is longer than clip length?

Post by CountDooku » Mon Mar 13, 2023 3:23 pm

Hello!

I'm trying to record automation in Sessions View which is longer/independent of the length of a clip of recorded audio.

For example I often record loops which are 1 bar long, but then would like to additionally record automation to FX parameters etc which process that 1bar loop that is 8 bars long.

Is there a way to do this?

Related - is there way to record automation, but not audio? So I could pass live audio through automated FX parameters on a channel, rather than audio from looping clips.

Ideally, id like to do both at the same time. For example, record automation of FX parameters on a channel, playing live audio through the channel, then capture audio loops on this channel, which are processed by the same automation/FX.

Thanks!
