Automating Effects
Automation
Each pair of nodes is only 2 milliseconds apart by default, so each pair
looks like a single node, but if you drag the envelope segment between the
two pairs up or down, you can see all four nodes.
To Add Nodes at Selection
1. Make a time selection.
2. Right-click the desired envelope within the selected time range.
The Envelope Editing menu appears.
3. Choose Add Nodes at Selection from the menu.
Two pairs of nodes appear on the envelope—one pair at the start of the
selected time range, and one pair at the end. Now you can drag the
selected envelope segment up or down, and maintain the envelope’s
shape.
Automating Effects
SONAR allows you to automate plug-ins, giving you real-time control over
dozens of effects parameters.

Note: When using automatable effects, the CPU meter may fluctuate
rapidly within a few percentage points. This is normal behavior.
Automating Individual Effects Parameters
You can automate the parameters of some of SONAR’s effects by drawing
envelopes, or recording fader movements, or creating snapshots. You
enable all automatable parameters in an effect when you enable the
Automation Write button in an effect property page.
To record fader movements, see Recording Individual Fader or Knob
Movements.
