Spectral on/off automation lane in ProTools?

Hi FF,

can you tell me which automation lane in PT refers to turning spectral mode on/off for a band? It seems to automate but I can't find out which automation lane in PT is responsible for switching a band to spectral.

Thanks!

This is set by the spectral enabled parameters per band, e.g. Band 1 Spectral Enabled, and so on. However, if you make a band non-dynamic by setting its Dynamic Range parameter to zero, it will also become non-spectral and might change the latency.

If you don't want the latency to change when turning spectral on and off, you can use Linear Phase processing mode.

Hi Frederic,

I looked everywhere but I can not see that lane in PT2024.10.1. It is being recalled but no lane. I can only see dynamics enable.
Possible bug?

Thanks

Also only bands 10-24 seems to have the SCLoFreq and SCHiFreq parameters. 1-9 don't.
Very weird. Something seem to be strange. I checked both the automation enable window and the drop down menu of the track.

Hans

Spectral enable is definitely missing here. However the switching is recalled 100%. So strange.

Hans

Me again, I realized that for bands 1-9 the side chain lanes are called "Side Chain Filtering" and "Side Chain Low Filtering" for some other bands they are called "SCHiFreq". But spectral enable is definitely not listed.

Hi Hans,

Spectral enable is exCluded from automation because it will change the plug-in latency, and therefore give you either a click during playback or sets your signal out of sync.
