Automation methods

There are several ways to automate controls in the Track view, Track Inspector and Console view:

• Recording the movements of individual faders, knobs, or controls. This method includes

any knob, slider, or control except the Solo, Arm, Phase, Interleave, Vol Trim, Bus Enable,

Pre/Post buttons, Bank, Patch, Channel, Key+, Time+, Input and Output.

• Drawing envelopes in the Clips pane for audio and/or MIDI data. An envelope is a graph of

the change in level of a particular parameter over time.
