Pro Tools - Fade In/Out with MIDI and Other Automation Tips

This video shows how to make a Fade In or Fade Out on MIDI/Instrument tracks in Pro Tools, plus I cover a bunch of other automation tips.

Drawing a Fade is simple with Audio, but different when using MIDI. Your first option is to Commit or Record your VI to an Audio track and draw your fade in that way.

If you want to stay in the MIDI realm, then you will want to draw in your fade with the Pencil Tool on the Audio Volume automation lane of your Instrument Track or Volume Lane of your AUX Track (depending on how you are hosting your VI's).

You also have the option to Write In the Fade by controlling the fader on your track with WRITE mode enabled.





No matter which method you choose, drawing in a fade in or fade out with MIDI is pretty simple once you understand how to do it.

This video was recorded on a Windows computer. When I call out a shortcut that starts with 'Control' (Ctrl), the relative key on Mac is 'Command' so keep that in mind.
