Has anyone worked out how to delete an animation node ?

Hey Phil;

I'd help but I have no idea what this is? Is it a pull down menu option?

I'd check but my desk is down

Bruce, you can automate tracks on an HDR by using the "Node" tool, when you click it on a track a yellow line will appear, this is the volume that the track will play at, so for example, if you lift or lower it until it reads 0db it will play at the tracks normal level, if you then add more nodes at different levels then the volume will change to their values.

It's good for automating the track or when there's a noise like a click on the track that's not wanted as it can be dropped out, you can also use it to add velocity to the beginning of a note etc. The problem is that once a node is added by mistake, I can't find a way of deleting it?

similar process in most new DAW's for draw in events like pan / fade / insert routes etc. bloody good method.

Hold down "control" and the node tool becomes a "node eraser". Hope this is what you were asking, however once the yellow line has been introduced, it is always visible even when all nodes have been erased, at least, that is my experience.

Have a blessed day,

Thanks Mike, I did try holding down Shift etc but must have missed Control, I have found that the only way to delete the yellow line is if there's a split in the track and undoing this works, but it depends when the split was made!

Hi Phil,
If you right click the mouse on the track a menu will pop up just untick the "Volume Envelope" option. done.
Here is a handy trick im not sure is in the manual....
Once you set all the volumes using the volume nodes in the track to what you want to get rid of loud peaks, low bits, loud "Ps" pops and farts, even if its in bits like you have chopped out all the space for say a niosy mic, you can then render that track as one, and it will keep all the volume settings you have set via the volume tool, then just drag it from your regions list on the right as normal into your track and it wont have the volume nodes on, just like a redone track with all the right volumes.
