Automation

When mixer settings such as volume, pan or effect settings are to change during the course of the project, for example when fading in tracks, moving audio signals in the panorama or changing parameters of effects, we speak of automation.

The display and recording of this automation is done using automation curves. An unlimited number of automation curves are available on each track. You can record automation movements on track and master level during playback in automation curves. All automation curves (track, master and object automation) can be edited or directly drawn in.

• At track level, dynamic automation of volume, pan, surround, AUX sends, effects and MIDI controllers is available.
• At the object level, you can automate the volume, (surround) panorama, AUX sends and fx parameters.
• At master level, you can automate the volume, EQs, VST plug-ins, and MIDI controllers.
