Automation track operations
Most of the tracks in your project have automation tracks,
one for each automated parameter. Automation tracks are
hidden by default.
Opening automation tracks
To open an automation track for a channel, proceed as fol-
lows:
• Position the mouse pointer over the lower left corner of
the track and click the arrow icon (“Show/Hide Automa
-
tion”) that appears.
• Right-click the track in the track list and select “Show
Automation” from the context menu.
By default, the Volume parameter is assigned to the first au-
tomation track.
• To open another automation track, position the mouse
pointer over the lower left corner of an automation track,
and click the “+” sign (“Append Automation Track”) that
appears.
By default, the new automation track shows the next parameter in the
Add Parameter list (see below).
You can click the “Append Automation Track” button (the
“+” sign) for the automation track several times to open
additional automation tracks.
Ö If you activate the option “Show Automation Track in
Project on Writing Parameter” in the Preferences dialog
(Editing page), the corresponding automation track is re-
vealed on writing automation parameters.
Assigning a parameter to an automation track
Default parameters are already assigned to automation
tracks when you open them, according to their order in the
Add Parameter list.
To select which parameter an open automation track dis-
plays, proceed as follows:
1. Open an automation track and click on the automation
parameter name.
A parameter list is shown. The contents depend on the track type.
• If the parameter you wish to automate is available on the
pop-up menu, you can select it directly.
• If you wish to add a parameter not available on the pop-
up menu or if you want to view all parameters that can be
automated, proceed with the next step.
