<p>
<dfn>Automation</dfn> is the ability to dynamically control various aspects
of a track's innate attributes and the attributes of any processors attached
to it. In Ardour, automation can be used to make dynamic changes to a
track's:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Fader (Volume)</li>
<li>Trim</li>
<li>Muting</li>
<li>Panning</li>
<li>Any attached processor's parameters</li>
</ul>
<p>
Any combination of these can be enabled on a single track; as such, it offers
a lot of power and flexibility over how a track will ultimately sound when
played back.
</p>
<p>
To activate automation for a track, click the <kbd class=menu>A</kbd> icon on the track head and check the
type of automation you need.
