Automation Range Macro

[Oliver.Lucas]

Hi,

I fond this on the Cubase forum, it might be useful to you guys as well. It is a macro that mimics the range automation editing like in ProTools where you can just move up or down the automation in a range.
In Nuendo you have to edit a start and end point manually before you can do this.

range automation like ProTools:
That’s where my Macro (including the script) comes in:
Select range with Range Tool (in the volume automation lane), fire off macro, turn up or down (trim).

Here is the macro step by step:

edit - copy
edit - paste
transport - locate selection
transport - nudge +1 frame
edit - left selection side to cursor
transport - locate selection end
transport - nudge +1 frame
edit - right selection side to cursor
edit - copy
edit - paste
transport - locate selection
transport - locators to selection
tool - select tool
process project logical editor - “Your script” (see below)

–the PLE script:
media type equals automation
position inside cycle PPQ
//
function - select

Just make sure your PLE script is correct.


This WILL make two point at either selection border (and select the inner ones). They are just a frame apart, so you have to zoom in a bit to see them both /all (this you have to do just one to trust me ).
The nodes are so big that they “mask” each other in “normal view”.

Or you could simply use the line tool. Another trick is to use the square wave tool, disable snapping, use the (on my system) alt + shift modifier and that will lock it horizontally.
