SELECTING PARAMETERS FOR AUTOMATION
To select a parameter for automation, click a track’s Automation Parameter drop-
down lane in the track list – by default it will say Track Volume. You can click it or the
downward facing arrow next to it.
A drop-down menu appears showing the track volume, pan, and send parameters, as
well as a list of currently inserted virtual instruments and/or plug-in effects. Hovering
the mouse over a virtual instrument or plug-in effect name will display all currently
automatable parameters for that instrument or effect. Clicking a parameter name will
display current automation for that parameter in the automation lane.
ADDING AND EDITING AUTOMATION
To add automation points, simply click on an automation lane’s automation line and
drag the point up and down. The position of newly created automation points will
conform to the the current snap setting. The global snap value applies when adding
and editing automation points. If you experience problems moving an envelope point
to a specific location, change the Snap setting to Snap Off.
To move a horizontal section of the automation line, hold down the SHIFT key while
dragging. The cursor will turn into an up/down arrow.
