![]() Now with that done, we can either Escape or hit the MIDI-map mode. We can see it over here in the mappings browser, that the track volume on the FX mixer has been assigned to something via Controller 13. And with this parameter selected, I'm just going to turn a knob on my controller to assign it. And then I'm going to go into MIDI mapping mode. I'll select that, just to make sure that's selected. So, I'm going to automate the track volume here on this FX track. And so it's just a good reminder that this is a lot easier to do with the MIDI controller than it is with a mouse. And by the way when I was demonstrating that with my mouse, I was starting to run out of room with my mouse. Now this time instead of using my mouse, I'm going to use my MIDI controller. So, now we see how to record automation on a MIDI track, let's see how it's different on an audio track. And you'll see that that's removed the unnecessary break points. So, this is just a good reminder that we can thin that by simply selecting it, and then right-clicking on the selection, and choosing Simplify Envelope. And you can see that when you write real-time automation, the automation nodes, or break points, can get pretty dense. Now once we've got that, you might want to zoom in, so I'll hit my + key to do that. So, here we go! (metronome tapping) (upbeat synthesized music) All right. That way, that'll leave my mouse handy so that I can move the value here on the track volume, which is what I'm going to automate. ![]() So to go into record here in arrangement view, we'll just need to hit our F9 key, which is the shortcut for enabling the record button. And then I'm going to be using my mouse in this first demonstration. So if my curse was over here, I would just simply click at my start point to set that. So, I want to start over here at the beginning. We also need to make sure our cursor is set at where we want to start recording automation. So, I've got that set at one bar, so when we get ready to start recording the automation, we'll at least get four clicks before this drops into record. It's also helpful to have your count-in enabled. Otherwise, as we record the automation, it's going to be erasing, or overwriting, the underlying MIDI notes. Now, when we're recording automation in arrangement view to a MIDI track, we'll want to make sure that we have the MIDI overdub switch enabled. So first of all, to record our automation, you're going to want to enable the automation arm button, which is this one that looks like two nodes connected by a line. And let's do a couple of things to get prepared here. Or we can use the key command, which is just the letter "a." So, I'll hit that so that we can see the automation. And as I record real-time automation, I like to see what it's doing, so let's go ahead and let's enable automation mode, which we can do by clicking the automation mode button here, and enabling it. So I've got Exercise 4 from Chapter 12 open, if you want to follow along, and we're starting in arrangement view. Your library will not be overwritten or altered.- Drawing in graphical automation doesn't always yield the most musical results, so let's take a look at how you can record real-time automation using your mouse or a MIDI controller. You can install the trial next to your current version. If you want to uninstall the trial at any point, you can find help here. Then open Live and follow the instructions there.
