Automatic Writing of Automation Data
Every action that you perform is automatically recorded on automation tracks which you can
later open for viewing and editing.
PROCEDURE

2.
Click W to enable the writing of automation data on this track.
3.
Start playback.
4.
Adjust the parameters in the MixConsole, in the Channel Settings window, or on the effect
control panel.
The value settings are recorded and displayed as a curve on the automation tracks. When
automation data is being written, the color of the automation track changes and the delta
indicator in the automation track shows the relative amount by which the new parameter
setting deviates from any previously automated value.

drag it to an insert slot on a different channel, any existing automation data is not transferred to
the new channel.
