Operation Manual

Click the "Toggle Automation" button to view the automation for a track:
This will show the automation part of a track.
The default automation is the track volume. This will adjust the volume over the course of the track. Now you can use
the mouse to add track volume envelope points.
Click on any point in the automation body to add a point and then drag it to the desired value.
Moving Track Automation Points
The global snap value will apply when adding and editing automation points. If you are having
problems moving an envelope point to a specific location, turn off snap.
To move the automation line, hold down the Shift key and the cursor will turn into an up down arrow . Move the
line up or down to the desired value.
Dragging an automation point over other automation points will cause them to be 'over-run' and then deleted when the
mouse is released.
Fine Tuning Automation Points
Right click on an automation point to edit its value or to delete it.
Right click on a track automation header (to the left of the automation type) to clear, invert or hide the automation
area.
Automating Effects
Each VST, VSTi, and Acoustica Effect that is loaded into Mixcraft can be automated. In fact, each parameter of every
effect can be automated. This means that you can change the delay amount of a delay effect at specific times or
change the chorus level over time. The sky is the limit. (Note: DirectX effects can not be automated in Mixcraft)
To automate an effect:
1. Choose an effect for the track.
