316 Chapter 7 Automation

Viewing Multiple Parameters

Background display of other parameters

The background of the automation track shows all other automation data (not the

currently selected parameter) at a lower contrast level—when the track is at a sufficient

zoom level. Volume is beige (dark yellow), Pan is dark green, everything else is dark

blue. The transparency of background objects and the other track automation data can

be adjusted to your needs in Preferences > Display > Arrange.

Individual automation track for each parameter

It is possible to view multiple automation data simultaneously on different tracks: The

triangle in the lower corner of each track name in the track list allows you to create

additional tracks for different parameters. If the triangle is closed, a click will add a track

below the currently selected track. If possible, Logic will automatically set the

automation parameter type of the new track to a type that’s already recorded, but not

currently shown.

Option-clicking the closed triangle will add as many tracks as needed to show all types

of existing (already recorded) automation data. To ensure that the number of tracks

created doesn’t get out of hand, one Option-click will add up to 30 parameter tracks.

Option-clicking the open triangle will delete all tracks created for the “one track per

parameter” automaton view. Please note that only the view is deleted, not the

automation data itself. The automation data remains active, and can be viewed again

by Option-clicking on the closed triangle.

Automation Modes

You can independently select the automation mode of every channel strip in the Track

Mixer or Audio Mixer. The automation mode parameter is also visible in the Arrange

track list, at higher vertical zoom levels. The automation mode can also be set via key

commands. Given that Track Automation data can be recorded during playback mode,

the default setting is Off, as any mix automation recording may prove disconcerting

while arranging. You can choose between the following automation modes in any MIDI

or audio (including Audio Instrument, bus, and output) Region:

Off

Off will disable the current Track Automation data without deleting it. No automation

data will be written, read, or played back. If the current automation mode is Off, any

edits to Track Automation data in the Arrange window will automatically switch the

automation mode to Read. This ensures that the data, as currently edited, will be

played.
