Add automation to tracks
Add and adjust automation points in Logic Pro
To create changes over time to volume, pan, and effects settings, you add automation
points to a track’s automation curve at different places, and then adjust the automation
points so the value of the setting changes. You can adjust automation points by moving
them up or down to a new value or by moving them left or right to a new point in the
timeline. Numerical values are displayed alongside each automation point. You can also
raise or lower the value of MIDI parameters associated with notes in instrument tracks or
Drummer tracks. Note and numerical values are displayed alongside each MIDI data point.
You can also add automation points at selection area or region borders.
When splitting a region containing region-based automation, automation points are
automatically added to the automation curves of the original region and the new region
at the point of the split. These new points can then be adjusted and moved to create new
changes over time for the new region. For more information on splitting regions, see Split
regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area.
Add one or more automation points to an automation curve
In Logic Pro, do any of the following:
To add an automation point to an empty automation curve: Click anywhere in the
automation track.
This adds an automation point at the project start position, using the current fader
value.
To add an automation point to an existing automation curve, do any of the following:
Click the automation curve.
Double-click an empty area of the automation track.
Click on or outside the automation curve with the Pencil tool.
All of these actions add an automation point at the clicked position.
Add a series of MIDI data points using region-based automation
In Logic Pro, with a MIDI controller data parameter showing in the Automation Parameter
pop-up menu, drag a line across the portion of the region.
New MIDI data is created. If Velocity is the chose MIDI controller data parameter, new
MIDI data is created at every point at which notes intersect the line you drew.
