Working With Automation

To hide all automation parameters on all tracks, do one of the following:

m

Choose View > Track Automation (or use the View Track Automation key command,
default: A).

m

Click the Automation button in the Toolbar (if visible).

Viewing the Automation Data of Multiple Parameters

The automation track shows all automation data (not only the currently active
parameter) at a lower contrast level. Volume is a muted yellow, Pan is a muted shade of
green, and so on.

To change the transparency level of regions and automation data:

m

Adjust the Regions and Other Data sliders in the Automation Transparency section of
the Logic Express > Preferences > Display > Arrange tab.

You also have the option of viewing each automation parameter on its own sub-track,
making it easier to see what is being controlled.

To view automation data on sub-tracks:

m

Click the disclosure triangle to the lower left of a track name.

This opens a separate automation sub-lane, below the track.

Logic Express will automatically set the automation parameter type of the new
automation lane to a type that’s already recorded, but not currently shown. The active
automation parameter remains on the top track. Repeated clicks on the disclosure
triangle will open further automation sub-tracks.
