Your Play List should now look like this: Click on the right side of the little line and drag it out to the length of the clip.Stretch the clip out so that it extends to the same length as our original Automation.Your Play List should look like this (though, your Drum and Synths sections should contain more drum patterns than the one displayed here: Rename Track 6 as “Kick Pan (Left/Right)” and color it “Blue”.Rename this clip as “Kick Pan (Left/Right)”.You will see a new clip titled “Automation Clip” Go to your playlist window and click on Track 6 (right underneath your “Kick Volume Control” clip).Go to “Add” on the menu bar and select “Automation Clip”.This is an example of “Real Time Automation” Your Playlist should look like this: By clicking on the top, sliding bar of the Playlist and dragging it to the left, we can stretch out the Automation clip (not really stretch it out, but make it visible larger so we can edit it easier).Change the name of Track 4 to 'Harmless'.Change the name of Track 3 to 'SimSynth'.Change the name to “Automation” and make its color “Red”.Click on the name Track 5 and choose “Rename/Color”.Click on the little icon next to the “Pattern 12” name and change the name of Pattern 12 to “Kick Volume Control”.

However, keeping it named as “Pattern 12” will never do. We want to keep our automation separate from those. The important thing to realize is that it did not record this automation in the tracks with our notes.

Pattern 12 is inserted onto Track 5 in the playlist. Look at your playlist, it should look something like this:.Make sure it gets to its original position before the counter reaches 4:04 Now, as the song plays, click and drag the “Kick” Insert volume level back to its original position.Click on the Play button (the little triangle to the left of the Record button on the transport control panel).In the mixer, lower the Kick Insert volume to “0”.Create a new Blank Pattern which should be empty (our Automation will be recorded in this new pattern on the step sequencer). Select Track 5 on the playlist before we start recording (this is where our recording will go).Make sure the “Song” light is lit on the transport control panel.Open your “My First Arrangement = Effects” file.And, some are drawn and inserted into the track. Some of these automations are created by hand. These changes in sound, pitch, volume, that sweeping sensation that you hear, vocodor and auto tune effect, are all part of “automation” – the automated changes over time. Often times, when we listen to a song (or “track”, as they are referred to in the music industry) there are changes that occur throughout the listening experience.
