If you hold the Ctrl key while dragging on the automation curve, the mouse pointer will turn into a pencil.
The curve can then be drawn freehand.
Automation in editing and libraries
You can use the Automation menu Cut/Copy/Paste functions to copy data (even between projects). Just
select a region and select Automation > Copy Selected Points, then choose which list(s) to copy, then
go into another project (or the same) and select Automation > Paste Points to Cursor or Paste
Points to Original TC.
If you enable the menu item Edit > Enable Automation Cut/Copy/Paste then any editing operation on
clips also applies to all associated automation data (cut/copy/paste, Auto-Ripple, etc…)
If you drag a clip(s) to a library, all automation over that clip(s) is copied/pasted as well.
Mixer and Plug-in Snapshots

Mixer Snapshots
Snapshots of the entire state of the mixer surface may be easily and quickly saved and recalled.
Saving Mixer Snapshots

to a user library. A new item of the type Mixer Snapshot will appear in the library. The snapshot is

then hit Return.
Recalling Mixer Snapshots
To recall a mixer snapshot simply click on it in the library, drag it over the mixer surface and release. All
parameters will be reset to the values stored in the snapshot.
