Some of the benifits of this method are that it allows you use a single user interface for all automation - be it within your DAW or controlling Zen. You also get all the options that your DAW provides relating to automation writing and editing. Of course, all your automation data is kept in your main project file too.
We expect people to set up 16 or 32 channel in their DAW that are dedicated to automation of Zen.
I hope that helps! |
Hi,
Just to clarify: the console writes automation onto the DAW program itself via HUI? Won't this cause problems patching in compressors via the inserts if the output level from the DACs varies along with the automation? The automation isn't happening post fader on the console correct? Is there a workaround this?
