To set the amount of thinning:
1 Choose Soundtrack > Preferences, then click the Project button.
2 In the Project pane, drag the Automation Recording Sensitivity slider to adjust the
amount of thinning.
When the slider is set to High, no thinning occurs. The envelope contains every
movement of the control. Dragging the slider to any position other than High results in
some thinning of envelope points. By default, the slider is set to a moderate amount of
thinning.
