Track Pictures
If the “Show Track Pictures” button is activated above the
track list, and track pictures are assigned, they are dis-
played to the right of the track controls. Track pictures are
set up on the Pictures tab of the Track Inspector Page,
see “The Pictures tab” on page 62.
Track automation
Track automation allows you to make things such as vol-
ume, panning, and various other settings be adjusted au-
tomatically while the project is playing.
An example would be if you wanted the drums to be quieter
at the start of the song and then get louder at the end. You
can make Sequel do this automatically.
When the “Show Automation” button is activated in the
Pilot Zone, you’ll notice that new track controls appear.
These are the track automation controls.
Clicking on the control on the top will open a pop-up
menu. Here you can choose which setting you would like
to automate. You can automate multiple track settings, but
you can only view one automation parameter at a time.
Ö You can only edit automation events if you activate the
“Edit/Write Automation” button in the Pilot Zone, see “The
Automation buttons” on page 42 and “Adding automa-
tion” on page 31.
Note that the Master track is now visible at the bottom of
the Arrange Zone and you can automate parameters there,
too. One of the most popular parameters to automate is vol-
ume, for example to fade out at the end of a song.
Ö You’ve been introduced to the automation features of
Sequel. For more detailed information on creating and ed-
iting automation, see “Adding automation” on page 31.
