• Click outside of all track automation lanes (on the Arrange area background) to deselect<br />

all automation data.<br />

• Drag a selected area to move all selected nodes (and connecting lines). Moved<br />

automation data automatically erases any data that exists in the destination area.<br />

• Shift-dragging allows a rectangular selection. The selected area will toggle.<br />

• Option-clicking, when no automation data is selected, selects all data behind (following)<br />

the current mouse position, allowing you to drag this selection.<br />

• Option-double-clicking, when no automation data is selected, will select all data.<br />

There are two choices available when changing the values of several selected nodes:<br />

• Clicking a line or node allows you to change all values by the same absolute amount.<br />

• Clicking outside a line, within the selected area (a node or outside a node), changes all<br />

values proportionately, by a percentage value.<br />

Creating Automation Nodes<br />

You can create automation nodes using a variety of different methods.<br />

To create automation nodes<br />

µ Click on, or just outside, an automation line (not on a node) with the Pointer tool or Pencil<br />

tool to create a new node.<br />

The very first click in an empty automation track creates a new node at that position, and<br />

another node at the beginning of the track. This ensures that you can’t create parameter<br />

controls with gaps in the middle of a region, and have full control over the parameter<br />

from the beginning of the automation track.<br />

Note: Creating an automation node on a grouped track, and with the relevant checkboxes<br />

selected in the Group Settings window (volume, pan, sends), will also create automation<br />

nodes on other tracks in the group. Their placement will take the relative parameter<br />

values of each track into account.<br />

To freely draw automation<br />

µ Draw automation lines (and curves) with the Pencil tool.<br />
