This can be the Volume fader, pan pot, or any other parameter of the track’s channel strip.<br />

The parameters are represented by the following preset colors when displayed as a curve<br />

in the automation track:<br />

• Yellow for Volume automation<br />

• Green for Pan automation<br />

• Yellow for Solo automation<br />

Only parameters that actually control something in the selected track’s channel strip (or<br />

its plug-ins) are displayed in the Automation Parameter menu. Parameters that already<br />

exist in the track (as automation data) are displayed in bold lettering in the menu.<br />

To choose an automation parameter<br />

µ Click the Automation Parameter menu, and choose a parameter.<br />

A submenu is shown for each plug-in inserted in the channel strip. These are numbered<br />

and named after the slot position and plug-in (1 EXS24, for example). Further submenus<br />

may be shown inside the Plug-in menus. Volume, Pan, Solo, Mute, and Bypass are shown<br />

in the Main submenu.<br />

To hide all automation parameters on a track<br />

µ Click the Automation Parameter menu, and choose Display Off.<br />

To hide all automation parameters on all tracks<br />

Automation key command, default assignment: A).<br />

µ Click the Automation button in the Arrange toolbar (if visible).<br />

Viewing the Automation Data of Multiple Parameters<br />

The automation track shows all automation data (not only the currently active parameter)<br />

at a lower contrast level. Volume is a muted yellow, Pan is a muted shade of green, and<br />

so on.<br />

To change the transparency level of regions and automation data<br />

1 Open Display preferences by doing one of the following:<br />

• Choose <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> > Preferences > Display (or use the Open Display Preferences key<br />

command).<br />

pop-up menu.<br />
