• When this option is deactivated and an event/part is selected in the
Project window however, the up/down arrow keys still step through the
tracks in the track list. Only on the currently selected track, the first
event/part will also be selected.
• When this option is activated, the up/down arrow keys are only used to
change the track selection – the current event/part selection in the
Project window will not be altered.
Track Selection follows Event Selection
If this option is activated and you select an event in the Project window, the
corresponding track is also automatically selected.
Automation Reduction Level
This setting determines the amount of reduction applied when you add
automation events by drawing or by using the Write function. When you write
or draw Automation events, they are added as a continuous stream of densely
packed events. The Reduction function will remove superfluous event points,
and the automation curve contains only the event points that are necessary to
reproduce your actions.
• The lower the reduction level, the more automation events are retained,
resulting in a more detailed automation curve. Usually the default setting
is sufficient.
• The minimum reduction level setting is not recommended as this will
simply retain a lot of unnecessary events.
Show Automation Track in Project on Writing Parameter
If you activate this option, the corresponding automation track is revealed on
writing automation parameters. This is useful if you want to have a visual
control of all parameters that are changed during writing.
Automation follows Events
If you activate this option, automation events will automatically follow when
you move an event or part on the track.
This facilitates setting up automation that is related to a specific event or part,
instead of a specific position in the project. For example, you can automate
the panning of a sound effect event (having the sound pan from left to right,
etc.) – if you need to move the event, the automation will automatically follow.
The rules are:
• All automation events for the track between the start and end of the
event or part will be moved. If there are automation events in the position
to which you move the part or event, these will be overwritten.
• If you duplicate an event or part (by holding [Alt]/[Option] and dragging
or by using the Duplicate or Repeat functions) the automation events
will also be duplicated as well.
• This function also affects copying and pasting.
