To write automation:
1 Click “Guitar Vol Auto” in the Memory Locations window to go to the tutorial location.
2 On the track “cleangtr,” click the Automation Mode button and choose Auto Write for
the Automation Mode.
3 Click Play in the Transport window. Automation begins writing for the track you have
selected. Move the Volume fader to write changes to the automation.
4 When you have finished writing automation, click Stop.
To play back automation:
1 Set the Automation Mode on the “cleangtr” track back to Auto Read. Now your
automation will be read as the track is played back.
2 Play the song. Your automation is played back as the song plays. The Volume fader in the
Mix window also moves as the song plays back, displaying your automation.
Now write volume automation for the distorted guitar track “dirty1,” using the same steps.
Mixing in the Edit Window
The Edit window can be used for many editing tasks, and it also allows you to “draw” very
precise Mix automation. First, we’ll use the Edit window to expand on the automation we
wrote in the Mix window by drawing a precise fade-out on the Master Fader at the end of
the song.
