Hi. A newbie here. I am trying to use automation to mute and un-mute a bass track. Unfortunately I am not having any luck. Can anyone tell me the proper steps to accomplish this? It is driving me nuts. Thanks so much in advance. Mark

Hey Mark
First you do indeed open the automation track by clicking the V\ sign on the track You should see Volume and Pan as the defaults there Right-click on one of them and hit Add/remove and you should get a popup On the right side choose 'Mute' and hit the <<Add inbetween the windows Now you should have a lane called mute along with the Volume and Pan The mute one is an on/off switch, meaning either 0% or 100% Here you should be able to mute and unmute as you please pr automation Remember to put your track automations to 'Read' to make them active Ch33rs Hope this helps Saga

This isn't doing it for me. I'm a newbie also. All I am trying to do is start a track in the middle of a song, without automating a volume fader and without deletng part of the recorded track, I just want to mute part of the track, so that when I export it, that track is out for the beginning of the song and then kicks in for the second verse, What are the best videos, The presonus documentation and videos are hard to understand

FinalSaga wroteHey Mark Please explain. I did all this. I am hitting mute during the playback, but it doesn't "stick". |
Hi Brendan...
If you split/cut the track at the point in the song, where you want the track to start playing, to create two events, you can right click on the first event and select 'mute' from the drop down menu to, er, mute that event/part of the track. This should then prevent the first event from playing either in real time or appearing in any mix-down. A small caveat here - 'mute' does not always appear as an option in the drop down menu when right clicking, you may need to go looking for it or use the menu header bar to find it but once used it tends to stick in the right click drop down subsequently.

Maybe one day I'll actually finish a project! |
Right click the mute button on the track, and select edit mute automation. That will open an automation lane for edit, and you will see a line representing the mute button. Get to the part where you want the mute, and click in the line to place a node. Then to the right of that node, grab the line and pull it all the way down (or up, depending on where the line is when you start). Then go to the point where you want the mute off, and place a node in the same way. Then grab the line to the right of that node, and move back up to unmute.
