Automation Mixing

From what I have seen, many editors shy away from using Soundtrack Pro 2, as they feel that they have the same tools in Final Cut Pro, and it’s one less step they have to go through, by mixing in their editing timeline. Let me say, if you think this way, you are missing out on one of the best “not so hidden” features of Soundtrack Pro 2, and that is Automation Mixing (AM).  AM used to be reserved for the sound engineers who had mixing consoles hooked up to their Mac’s, but not any more.  You can use this excellent advanced technique for not only regular mixing, but 5.1 surround mixing as well.

This _can_ actually be done directly in Final Cut Pro.

Open up your audio mixer under the Tools menu. There’s a button that appears in the toolbench called “Record Audio Keyframes” which can also be found in the button list, or by cmnd-shift-K.

Hey Kevin,
Can you comment on why 9 times out of 10 when I go to export a mixdown STP forgets to read these key frames thus ruining my fades and such?
Is this a bug or am I forgetting to do something?

Thanks
