Automation Curves

Automation Curves
Within a Cubase project, the changes in a parameter value over time are reflected
as curves on automation tracks.
There are two kinds of automation curves:
1) Ramp curves
Ramp curves are created for any parameter that generates continuous
multiple values, such as fader or encoder movements.
2) Jump curves
Jump curves are created for on/off parameters such as mute.
Static Value Line
When you open an automation track for the first time, it does not contain any
automation events. This is reflected in the event display as a straight horizontal black
line, the static value line. This line represents the current parameter setting.
If you manually added any automation events or used write automation for the
corresponding parameter and then disable the reading of automation data, the
automation curve is grayed-out in the event display and the static value line is used
instead.
As soon as Read is enabled, the automation curve becomes available.
Write/Read Automation
You can automation enable tracks and MixConsole channels by activating their
automation write W and read R buttons.
• If you activate W for a channel, virtually all MixConsole parameters that you
adjust during playback for that specific channel are recorded as automation
events.
•If R is activated for a channel, all your recorded MixConsole actions for that
channel are performed during playback.
The R and W buttons for a track in the track list are the same as the R and W buttons
in the MixConsole.
