Hi Guys
I have audio on a track that lasts 1 bar running through various fx.. During the course of this one bar I want to automate the multiple fx on the channel as one "mega effect" (filter sweep, distortion, reverb all move together) I go and assign all the parameters from different plugins I want to automate to single knob on my midi controller essentially creating a macro. I record this automation and each individual parameter that was assigned to the knob gets its own automation lane. This is fine but if I want to edit the automation later I have to go into each automation lane and do it individually. I am wondering if there is a way to have a single automation lane representing the knob on my midi controller, and this one lane will control the multiple parameters.
If you have used NI massive what I am trying to do is the same as its macro controllers and how they work in logic. With massive I can assign multiple parameters in the synth to be controlled by one of its macros, say macro 1. If I want to automate all these parameters together I can simply draw automation in logic for Massive macro 1 and all the parameters in massive assigned to that macro will move as one, but are controlled by a single automation lane. So say if filter cutoff and reverb size are assigned to macro 1 and I record automation with it I just see 1 automation lane for macro 1 as opposed to two separate lanes for filter cutoff and reverb.
So basically I am trying to achieve this same functionality using different plugins. I believe this is fairly easy to do in abelton live but not sure how to best do it on logic.
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks
