I recorded some automation in one of my track’s parameters, and it created a huge amount of small automation points. I want to smooth the curve and reduce the number of points. I found an option that lets me reduce it in Automation Panel settings > Reduction Level, but it will only reduce points for new automation lines I try to record. What about an automation lane I already recorded that has a bunch of automation points and I want to highlight some and reduce or smooth them? I can’t find a function for that. Is it somewhere hidden?
In cubase pro 15 you can use the Automation panel:
Project/automation panel and enter the settings page. Manual says:
Reduction Level
Punching out removes all superfluous automation events. This results in an
automation curve that contains only the events necessary to reproduce your actions. A
reduction level value of 0% removes repeated automation points only. A reduction level
value between 1 to 100% smoothens the automation curve. The default value of 50%
should reduce the automation data amount significantly without touching the sound
result of the existing automation
thx for replying to my message. that setting I mentioned alredy in my original post, and I understand how it works when I record new automation. What I am asking is whether there is a way to apply the same kind of reduction to automation that was already recorded earlier. For example, can I select an existing section with many automation points and smooth or reduce it afterwards, without recording the automation again?
