Question about Fairlight automation

PostSat Jan 30, 2021 7:10 pm

Can someone who knows Fairlight better than me (which is probably anyone reading this) help me with an issue

I have a track and I did a little automation of the EQ setting (a sweep effect over the track).

When I play it back in Fairlight with the automation on, I hear what I did.
When I turn off the automation button, I don't hear it. Makes sense.

I want to output that clip. When I mark an IN and an OUT in Fairlight then go to the Deliver tab. In the deliver tab if I play, I hear the EQ sweep. I output the clip as a WAV, and play it back in the finder and the EQ automation isn't there.

I went back to Fairlight and tried to bounce the track to a new layer (so I could "bake in" my automation, but again it didn't work (as before, if the automation button is "on" in the new baked in track I hear the EQ sweep. When I turn it "off", I don't hear it. - in other words, the program is doing a live automation, not the clip.

So how do I bake in automation into a clip?
Or, how would i output a clip with the automation that I hear.

Thanks!

Are you rendering it out as audio only? Are you choosing Single Clip or Individual Clips?

I was trying to render it out a audio only. Would that make a difference?

(On odd workaround I found was in the Fairlight page if I choose quick export, it renders a video/audio file with the EQ automation. It doesn't really give me many choices of what kinds of audio or video I want, but its odd that it does export the automation there but not in the more robust Deliver page. Strange)

I just tried and chose Audio only, Single Clip and the file exported and the Automation worked fine. If you choose Individual Clips it probably won't work. Can you post a screenshot of your settings?

Firstly, Thanks Eric- I appreciate you taking the time to try to help me.

I did was you suggested - audio only. Single Clip. Same non-EQ automation.

I'm attaching a screen shot.

Thanks
