Automation
You can set the automation for individual tracks to be “written,” “read,” or disabled entirely by using the track
automation button in the channel strip in the Mixer.
Tap the track automation button to cycle through its three states:
When off, the track will ignore automation data. If you have already recorded or entered automation,
tapping this will switch between Read (R) and Write (W) only, but you can override this and turn it off
by pressing and holding Shift while pressing or tapping the button.
Important: If you have already recorded automation and turn it off, the track will still use the effect
and its parameter values at the point where you turned it off.
When set to Read (R), the track will read automation data but will not record any additional
automation over it. (Think of this as a protective feature to prevent accidental changes to your
automation while recording.)
When set to Write (W), the track can record automation. (If you have any knobs assigned to
automatable parameters, make sure not to touch any accidentally while you are recording.)
To quickly clear automation from a track:
1. Make sure the track is selected by pressing and holding its Track Select button.
2. Hold Shift and press the Track 4 Track Assign button, with Clear Automation written underneath.
3. All automation on the track will be immediately removed.
Alternatively, you can delete individual automation events using List View in Clip Edit Mode.
