CHAPTER 18. AUTOMATION AND EDITING ENVELOPES 257
To copy, cut, delete or duplicate automation from a track, independent of the associated
clip, make sure the parameter you want to work with is in its own lane. Any edit commands
applied to an envelope selection within a single lane will only apply to this envelope. The clip
itself will be unaffected. You can also work with envelopes in multiple lanes simultaneously.
If you want your edits to apply to both the clip and all of its associated envelopes, apply
edit commands to a selection in the clip track.
Note that Live allows you to copy and paste envelope movements not only from one point
in time to another, but also from one parameter to another. Since the parameters may be
completely unrelated, this can have unexpected (but possibly interesting) results.
18.4.5 Editing the Tempo Automation
The ability to dynamically stretch and compress audio to track any tempo or tempo variation
is one of Live's specialties. In Live, the song tempo is just another automated control.
To edit the song tempo envelope, unfold the Master track, choose Mixer from the top
envelope chooser and Song Tempo from the bottom one.
The Tempo Envelope.
When adjusting the tempo envelope, you might want to scale the value axis display, which
is the function of the two value boxes below the envelope choosers: The left box sets the
minimum, and the right box sets the maximum tempo displayed, in BPM.
Note that these two controls also determine the value range of a MIDI controller assigned
to the tempo.
