  This action adds an automation point at the project start position, using the current value of the selected automation parameter, for example, the Volume fader position.

  An automation point is added at the clicked position.

• To change the value of an automation point: Drag it up or down. Press Control while dragging to change the value in finer increments.

• To move an automation point to a different point in the timeline: Drag it left or right. Use the ruler to make sure automation points are aligned with a beat or measure.
