Automation
Samplitude Music Studio 2013 provides lots of comprehensive automation
possibilities at track level. You can enter automation movements in realtime or draw
them manually. The created automation data are visible as controller movements in
the corresponding plug-in or as a curve in the automation track. An unlimited number
of automation curves are available on each track. The volume automation curve is set
to 0 dB at the middle of the track and +6dB at the top of the track.
The following dynamics automation settings are available at track level: volume,
panorama, AUX sends, EQs, and plug-in control elements and MIDI controllers.
Automation – context menu
To open automation, right-click on the "Vol" button in the track box or on button
Rd/T in the "Automation" category of the Track Editor.
First entries in the automation context menu
The first entry indicates which parameter you have automated, e.g. Effect 0 volume or
Effect 1 pan. By checking the corresponding entry you can activate the corresponding
automation curve. If you haven't activated an element, No effect (track) will be
displayed.
Editing curves
Create
The curve generator will create a beat-based volume curve for you which pulses
according to eighth, quarter, half, or full notes. As an option for the beat-based
envelope curve calculation you can enter a minimum and maximum value, or define
the delay values.
