To record automation data, you’ll first need to do a few things within ProTools. First,

bring up the Pro Tools automation window (see Pro Tools Manual for enabling

automation) and make sure ‘plug-in’ is enabled.

Next, in the track you’re working on,

select ‘auto-write’ to enable the real-time

recording of automation data.

Now, press play and fiddle with the PhaseMistress controls. Pro Tools should now

record any control changes you make. When the transport is stopped, the automation

will automatically switch to ‘auto-touch’. Please Note: In auto-touch mode, the

automation data you’ve just recorded will be played back, and any new control

changes you make will be written over the older automation data. To prevent these

new control changes from being recorded, change the automation mode to ‘read’. To

turn off all automation on this track, set the mode to ‘off’.

It would be really cool to edit these control changes, wouldn’t it? Pro Tools has got

you covered. From the edit window, click on the waveform button and slide the

mouse over until you see PhaseMistress and its automated parameters. Choose

whichever parameter you’d like to edit (it would be nice to see all parameters at

once, but for now you’ve got to work on one at a time.)
