I have a feeling not many people use the Mastering Page compared to the Session Page. That's to be expected, I suppose. Personally, I find it a joy to use. There is one thing, however, that I don't like.
The Mastering page has both Track and Master automation lanes. I use Track automation exclusively. Another feature of the page (It's actually a mode, since it can't be used side-by-side with a Session Page view.), is the Freeze to Rendered Audio command.
When using Track automation, the insert FX get printed to a new clip when the track is frozen, but the automation does not. Freezing the track and then turning off the automation will demonstrate this.
Note that AI gets this wrong:
This will surprise no one. The AI help doesn't seem to extend beyond what's in the manual.
I tried creating a wav file release and found, using an independent player, that automation was printed to it. To me, it seems reasonable for the Track automation to be printed to the frozen audio clip, and then Track automation should be turned off to prevent it from being doubly executed. That leaves Master automation to be applied when making a release.
Maybe I have something wrong here, but I've tried it several times with pink noise and volume automation that's hard to miss:
Does anyone else see a problem here? - s
