• Choose a parameter in the arrange track list, and move the value slider to the right of<br />

the track list, with one of the write modes turned on.<br />

• Move the faders or knobs of a connected hardware controller, with one of the write<br />

modes turned on. See Writing Track Automation with External Controllers.<br />

• Use the Pointer tool or Pencil tool to draw your automation data.<br />

When one of the write modes is active, you can record track automation data when<br />

<strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> is in record or playback mode. The Arrange window track selection or audio<br />

record ready status is irrelevant. Whatever you touch or move is recorded when a channel<br />

strip is set to one of the write modes. The movement of Mixer controls (when in a write<br />

mode) can be used to overwrite or edit existing automation data, in real time.<br />

When <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> is in stop mode, the automation write modes are ignored, and no data<br />

is written if the fader is moved. There is, however, one exception: If there are no dynamic<br />

changes (no automation data), the current fader setting becomes valid for the whole<br />

project. This is the default behavior for all mix parameters, when you start a fresh project.<br />

Selecting Automation Nodes and Lines<br />

You can use the Automation Select tool to drag to select any selection (of nodes) in the<br />

automation data.<br />

Automation Select tool<br />

• Click a region to select all currently visible automation events that fall within the region<br />

borders.<br />

• Shift-click to select other areas, in addition to an existing selection. This allows you to<br />

simultaneously edit noncontiguous selections.<br />

• Shift-click a node—in front, or following a selected area—to extend the current selection.<br />

You can also select nodes with the Pointer tool:<br />

• Shift-click a node to toggle selection (of the node).<br />

• Shift-click a line to toggle selection (of the line).<br />
