You can re-record moves again and again until youÕve got the movement
exactly how you want it. You can also edit automation data using the
Controllers pane in the Piano Roll view.
Automation data for an individual track is saved as a series of controller
events on the corresponding track. Automation data for an aux bus or
main is saved as a series of controller events on a special track, with a
track name of ÒConsole Automation Data.Ó This track is displayed in the
Track view; deleting the track will remove all aux and main automation
data. However, this track is not displayed in the Console view.
There are three tools in the Console view toolbar that are used to control
recording and automation:
If you are not happy with the automation data you recorded, you can
always use
Undo to remove it. The automation data you record using
the Console view can be displayed and edited using either the
Controllers pane in the Piano Roll view or the Event List view. For more
information on the Controllers pane, see ÒControllers, RPNs, NRPNs,
and Automation DataÓ on page 6-34. For more information on the Event
List view, see ÒThe Event List ViewÓ on page 6-42.
If the Now time is the very beginning of the project, then the snapshot
will change the track parameters to match the controls in the panel,
instead of recording automation events.
