Automation
Automation lanes provide many benefits, including:
• Better visibility of automation data.
• Less screen clutter on track strips.
• Choose to only show the data you’re interested in.
• Easier to work with individual automation envelopes.
• Easy to copy and paste specific automation data.
• Ability to quickly bypass individual automation parameters.
• Slider to control automation parameters.
To show a track’s Automation lanes, click the track’s Expand/collapse Automation lanes button
.
Use an Automation lane’s Edit Filter control to specify the automation parameter you want to edit.
The selected global tool operates on track automation envelopes that are assigned to lanes,
including ProChannel, Arpeggiator, plug-in parameters and MIDI continuous controllers (CCs).
