Example:
You have a large orchestra tutti with roughly the same dynamics for all instruments.
It would be great if you could write the desired dynamics on one track and have all the other tracks slaved to the one “ring” ehhh track.
This way you can try things out quickly without the need to copy paste the automation to all the other tracks first.
Or is this function already present with me being gloriously ignorant
Can you tell me how?
I selected the tracks in the mixer, activated Q-link wrote some automation by pressing the Alt key on one of the tracks but no automation link between the selected channels.
For me Q-link is only mixer parameter oriented.
All DAW’S work this way. Yes, of course you can do automation rides on multiple tracks or no one would ever buy the DAW.
You can link faders, or use Quick Link which I use every single day, or you can send them all to the same group fader and automate that way, or you can use VCA’s, it’s up to you. I can do any of these things in a few seconds. There are plenty of videos on YouTube to answer your specific questions. HTH.
In Logic, this is possible by putting all the MIDI tracks into a Track Stack and then writing the CC1 automation onto the track stack. The Track Stack effectively acts as a parent midi track to all the tracks contained within it.
There’s plenty of Cubase users calling for Cubase’s folders to have Logic-style functionality. I think you just gave another compelling reason for why this would be helpful!
