Automate two tracks at once?

[charles kasler]

I have an ambient recording with two guitar tracks. I'd like to have them inversely related so that as one gets louder the other gets equally softer and be able to fade them in and out like that. Is there a way to do this without doing each one separately? Thanks!

Not in an inverse fashion like you mention that I know of. You can copy envelopes from one track to the other then do the inverse using the automation copied from the first track

Group the controls, then go into Group Manager, select Custom, and swap the Start and End values of one of them to get them moving in opposition. Write-enable both, and move the control on one of them (either in the UI or from a control surface) in real time during playback to write automation on both.

Thanks I'll try both ideas!
