For PC its Control-Start-Alt then Click

[WinkSound]

@WickBoyMusic Thanks for the tip!

[TheHunter1787]

its not working! I'm trying to use the cutoff in the AIR vintage Filter plugin and I tried ctr-Alt-Shift and Ctr-Alt and even ever other variation of the three...

Do I need to change something in my preferences?

[WiNKsound]

@TheHunter1787 Not sure why this is happening. There shouldnt be a problem. If anything just do it without the key command by enabling whatever parameter you want to automate in the automation option on the plug in (it says Auto on the top right hand side)

Give that a shot Let me know how it goes

how can i automate a external device like a synth virus ti desktop?

[WiNKsound]

@djwilllson What you can do is sync the device through midi, record the midi data and your synth/external device will playback whatever midi information you have done on that synth or external device. Thats my suggestion and I would record the audio as well. I will send over a video of syncing up an external device

Hope that helps out

Talk to you soon

Hey Justin Thanks for this helpful key command it was just what I was looking for.

Is there a quick key to switch back to Regions view instead of having to scroll over and select Regions below the Record, Solo & Mute buttons?

Awesome tip! didn't know this was possible; I have been trying to automate plug-in parameters for a while.

Thanks!
