Working with StudioWare
If you record a snapshot of control positions on a track that contains linked clips, the clips remain
linked, and the snapshot applies to all copies of the linked clip.
If you are not happy with the automation data you recorded, you can always use the Edit > Undo
command to remove it.
The automation data you record using a StudioWare panel can be displayed and edited using either
the Notes pane in the Piano Roll view or the Event List view. For more information about the
Controller pane, see “Controllers, RPNs, NRPNs, and Automation Data” on page 716. For more
information about the Event List view, see “The Event List view” on page 718.
