Recording automation in the Session View

Recording automation in the Session View is similar to how we recorded automation in the Arrangement View.

The main difference is that the automation is written into the particular clip’s automation envelope that we are working with, not onto the timeline.

Let’s have a look at how this works:

1. Drop an Auto Filter onto the 909 Core Kit track.
2. Enable the Automation Arm button.
3. Arm this 909 Core Kit track.
4. Select the clip that you would like to record the automation to – in this case this will be the yellow clip called k+c+OH (don’t launch this clip though).
5. We are going to decrease the cutoff Frequency parameter of the Auto Filter device toward the end of the clip. Now hit the Session Record button and move the Frequency parameter.
6. The automation was recorded. To display it, double-click on the clip and hit the Envelopes tab at the Tool tabs, which you can find in the Clip View.
