The Automation Toolbar
Display the Automation toolbar by using the View-Toolbars command to open the
Toolbars dialog box, and making sure that the Automation checkbox is checked. If
you slide the cursor over each button or field in the toolbar, tool tips pop up to tell
you each function. The Automation toolbar gives you quick access to some powerful
automation controls:
• Snapshot button—Click this button to take a snapshot of all controls at a
particular Now time. When you play back your project, when your project
reaches the Now time where you took the snapshot, all controls snap to the
positions they held when you took the snapshot.
• Disarm All Automation Controls button—Click this button to disarm
every control that is armed for automation recording.
• Enable Automation Playback button—Click this button to either enable
or disable any automation data the project contains.
• Envelope/Offset mode button—Click this button to toggle between
Envelope mode and Offset mode.
Automation Methods
There are several ways to automate controls in the Track and Console views:
• Recording the movements of individual faders, knobs, or controls—this
method includes any knob, slider, or control except the Solo, Arm, Phase,
Interleave, Vol Trim, Bus Enable, Pre/Post buttons, bank, patch, channel,
key+, time+, input and output.
• Drawing envelopes in the Clips pane for audio and/or MIDI data
