fenderchris2 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm using Helix Native with Nuendo on Windows10. I just want to change the 'Mix' value of a reverb using Automation. So I put Helix and Nuendo into 'Write' mode and at the right moment I Drag the 'Mix' bar to the right to increase the value from 25% to 60% however it does not work as expected. It just plays back with using 60% for everything - not just the section I want to automate! How can I get Helix to record automation moves like all the other plugins I use? - change a parameter on screen and put the system back into Read mode and it is played back. POD Farm 2 did that as far as I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what little I do know about Nuendo is, there are 3 different types of automation available - Touch, Latch and Cross Over. It may be worth digging a little deeper into how these various options work.

silverhead Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This reminds me of a post I made nearly two years ago now. It's much more comprehensive than your specific question but perhaps your answer is hidden in there somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderchris2 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Thanks for the replies. but I just can not get it to work in Cubase/Nuendo. With every other plugin I have ever used I simply put the DAW into 'Write' mode, grab a knob or fader with the mouse and move it around to change values. Whatever I do is recorded in the DAW - when the DAW is put back into 'Read' mode all moves made are played back, it's as simple as that and works with every single plugin I have, except Helix Native. Maybe someone with Cubase/Nuendo experience could chime in. It should not be this difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone with Cubase/Nuendo experience could chime in. It should not be this difficult. Difficult or not, it may simply work differently in Helix Native. Simply changing a Helix Native parameter won’t achieve automation without first doing some configuration. Did you try the method I described in my linked post above? I know that it is written in the context of using a Helix hardware device as the audio interface so perhaps that doesn’t apply to your situation, in which case I apologize for jumping in again. But if you do have a Helix device this method works. It may also work by adjusting the Helix Native parameter with your mouse after making the initial configurations. I never tested that.

The method for parameter automation in Helix Native (without a Helix Device) is described in detail in the Helix Native Pilot's Guide v3.8 pgs 50-59. It does look complicated to me but I haven't experimented with it. https://line6.com/data/6/0a00051afef2673cd2e8a197b/application/pdf/Helix Native Pilot's Guide 3.80 - English .pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
