7.2.5 Recording and Editing Automation
If you take a closer look at the knobs on the Parameter pages in the Control area, you will no-
tice they have an outer ring that changes its color to light grey as soon as you hover over it with
the cursor.
You can record automation by moving that ring with a left click on it and then dragging it up
and down during playback. Almost all parameters are automatable, the exception being all but-
tons.
The outer ring of the knobs, used for automation.
To remove the automation, simply right-click (on Mac OS X: [Ctrl]-click) on that outer ring. Al-
ternatively, you can also select individual automation points in the Automation Lane and right-
click (on Mac OS X: [Ctrl]-click) on them.
