If not what would you suggest to get around this. Another question I have is do you draw envelopes in CW 9 to adjust volume levels or can you use its virtual mixer when mixing down?

Hey. I am a 9.0 user. Here is what I know. You can draw volume and pan envelopes. You can use real time effects or effect a track permenantly or just part of a track. I think you can automate effects but I have not used it so I can not say for sure. You can automate the tracks for other settings so I think it is possible.

Now that I think of it you should have no problem automating the sends and returns to real time effects because they are visible on the console view which you can take snapshots of at what ever point you want in the song.

You can't automate FX in CWPA9 - just volume and pan. You need to upgrade to Sonar to get automated FX.
While you can record/automate volume fader movement in CW PA9, I would highly recommend that you use the volume envelopes. They are more intuitive to use, easier to control and, most importantly, visible as to where they are on your track(s).
As for getting around the FX automation limitation, the only thing I can think of is to cut the section of the track you wish to make the change to, and paste it into a new track. Then you can use different FX settings for the two tracks. This won't help, however, if you want to accomplish a gradual change. Maybe someone else has some better ideas.
Also, be aware that although Sonar does have automated effects, the automation can not be used for every effect. The effect has to be specifically written to take advantage of this capability. There are about 7 - 10 of these that are supplied with Sonar. To date, I do not know of any third-party plugins that can be used this way (although they may be coming in the future).

Thank you for the info. I had a feeling it was a feature in Sonar. I wasn't aware that only some Dirx plugins support automation. That's really good information to know.
