Options: This opens an additional dialog to control the style and intensity of
the influence of the beat on the automation curve (see below).
Scan envelope curve: Allows the volume process to be displayed as an
automation curve as an alternative to a beat-based automation curve.
Normalize first: This function normalizes the level of the audio object before
the object is scanned to create an automation curve.

Limitatio
n: Determine the minimum and maximum value of the envelope via
Delay Minimum/Maximum the basic forms can be altered further.
Shifting moves the entire curve. This lets you create interesting off-beat
effects.
Editing curves
Standard mode: If
the arrangement is not playing, you may create an effects
curve point at the position of the start marker and move it vertically. An effects
curve may be edited by setting the start marker at different positions and
setting the curve value for this point with the slider.
Draw mode: Move the slider in the dialog (when playback is stopped) and a
curve will be drawn in the track between the start and end marker accordingly.
The duration of the curve drawn corresponds with the object's duration.
Automation (view page 63) mouse mode is also activated so
that the curve
may also be drawn in with the mouse. This also works during playback.
Adjust active: Specifies object curve behavior if the length is changed
retroactively. If "Adjust active" is on, then the object curves will be compressed
and stretched with the objects, i.e. the curve points are moved
correspondingly. For example, if a movement curve is set so that an object is
moved across the entire screen, then this is also done in case the length is
changed (only slower or faster).
