Editing Automation Events

The following Line tool modes are available:

Line mode

If you click on the automation track and drag with the Line tool in Line mode, you

can create automation events in a line. This is a quick way to create linear fades, etc.

Parabola mode

If you click and drag on the automation track with the Line tool in Parabola mode,

you can create more natural curves and fades.

NOTE

The result depends on the direction from which you draw the parabolic curve.

Sine, Triangle, or Square mode

If you click and drag on the automation track with the Line tool in Sine, Triangle, or

Square mode and the Snap Type is set to Grid, the period of the curve (the length

of one curve cycle) is determined by the grid setting. If you press Shift and drag, you

can set the period length manually, in multiples of the grid value.

NOTE

The Line tool can only be used for ramp type automation curves.

Editing Automation Events

Automation events can be edited much like other events.

NOTE

If you move an event or part on a track and you want the automation events to follow

automatically, select Edit> Automation Follows Events. Any automation events at the new

position are overwritten.
