Track automation occurs in one or more <dfn>lanes</dfn>. Each lane has a
control that allows setting the amount or position of a certain
<dfn>parameter</dfn> associated with the lane. Parameters are things that can
be controlled on a track's automation lane, such as volume, panning, muting,
trim, etc. <dfn>Automation curves</dfn> typically consist of lines connected by

<dfn>control points</dfn>, that live within the confines of a lane; these
tell Ardour how to change a given parameter over time. <dfn>Automation
modes</dfn> define how Ardour creates the values in between the control
points of a given automation curve, either by connecting them with continuous
lines or not. <dfn>Automation states</dfn> govern how a given automation lane
will behave during playback.
