Automation overview

Automation refers to recording, editing, and playing back the movements of faders, knobs,
and switches. Using automation, you can create changes over time to volume, pan, and other
settings. You can add automation to all track types.

Each track in your project has automation curves for volume and pan, and you can add curves to
automate plug-in settings. To create changes over time, you do the following:

Show the track automation curve you want to work on.

Choose an automation mode.

Add automation control points to the curve at the start and end points for the change you
want, then adjust the control points.

You can also snap automation to positions in the grid, edit automation in the Automation Event
List, and use MIDI Draw to automate MIDI region events.
