<p>

|
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> 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> specify whether the control points are connected by lines or
|
|
stair steps. <dfn>Automation states</dfn> govern how a given automation lane
|
|
will behave during playback.
