previously recorded position. You can set the fader return time in the "MIDI
controller automation" dialog in "Settings -> Time constant for user entry".
The "MIDI controller automation" dialog can be accessed by right clicking the
automation button in the track editor.
VST plug-in/VST parameters dialog
All of the parameters that may be automated may also be selected and
activated in the VST plug-in's parameters dialog.
This allows automation to be recorded directly via the selected parameter
controllers during playback.
You can open the parameter dialog in the plug-in's menu via "Plug-in ->
Parameter".
Recording automation in "Read" mode
The easiest way to write automation in "Read" mode during playback is via
the "Ctrl + Alt + switch/controller" shortcut, while working directly in the
plug-in/instrument/mixer interface. This way allows an automated recording to
be made at any time. As long this key combination is held down, you may also
automate the selected parameters in "Read" mode.
If a mixer/VST control element is clicked with the same key combination "Ctrl +
Alt" while stopped, a corresponding inactive curve will be created
automatically for editing in "Draw" mode.
"Draw" mode
Select "Draw automation curves" mode to draw automation curves for a
parameter or a MIDI controller.
You can now draw the automation curve straight into the chosen track using
the pen tool for the selected parameters.
