286 AUTOMATION
When trimming a range, new automation points will be set at the range's edges. If you
move a fader for a relative volume adjustment during playback, the relative adjustment will
be recorded. You can see the current difference to the previously recorded value in the
fader value box and in the tool tip.
If you select the "Grid option affects automation curve points" (System options ->
Program -> General), then you can set automation points during moving to the values set
for the grid.
This mode is useful is you want to keep the existing automation movements, or increase or
decrease the overall level.
In "Trim" mode, automation data is only recorded as long as you touch the selected control
element with the mouse or touch it from your external controller. Automation recording is
stopped when you release the corresponding key. Once released, the control element will
move back to the 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.
Trim mode with stopped playback.
You can also make relative changes to all volume automation points within a certain area
when playback has been stopped.
Select a range for the affected automation events in the track and drag the channel fader in
"Trim" mode up or down. You can see the level adjustment difference value in the tooltip or
fader box.
