Adjusting bus automation levels
1.
Click the Automation Settings button and select Show Automation Controls. The fader handle is
displayed as a
in automation mode.
2.
Click the label on the multipurpose slider and choose a bus from the menu.
3.
Drag the fader to control the level of the track sent to each of the assignable FX chains that you have
created. Dragging the fader to the left cuts the volume; dragging to the right boosts the volume.
The fader behaves differently depending on the track automation recording mode:
• When the track automation mode is set to Off, the fader adjusts the send level of the entire track. In this
mode, the automation control acts as a second trim control.
• When the track has a bus envelope and the track automation mode is set to Read, the fader will follow
the envelope during playback but cannot be adjusted.
• When the track has a bus envelope and the track automation mode is set to Touch or Latch, the fader
edits the envelope setting at the cursor position. If the track does not have an envelope, one will be
created when you adjust the fader.
If multiple tracks are selected, all selected tracks are adjusted.
If you adjust the fader during playback, the behavior varies depending on the selected automation recording
mode. For more information, see Automating 5.1 surround projects on page 167.
