Play automation in Logic Pro for iPad
Your project will play back with automation as long as you have set the automation mode to Read on all tracks that have automation data, and no individual automation parameters are turned off.
Automation Value field
The Automation Value field, visible on all track headers in Automation view, shows the value of the currently selected automation parameter on a track at the current playhead position. It updates in real time during playback.
Play back your project with automation
In the Tracks area menu bar, tap the Automation View button
(or press A on your external keyboard).Scroll through the track list to see if the automation mode on all tracks is set to Read.
To set all tracks to Read mode, tap the Multiple Select button
to select it, tap the track icon of all tracks to select them, and then tap the Multiple Select button again to deselect it.Tap the Automation Mode pop-up menu on one of the tracks and choose Read.
All tracks are now set to Read mode.
Tap the Play button
or press the Space bar on your external keyboard to start playback of your project with all the controls on the tracks changing based on the automation data.When bouncing your project, all the automation performance will be included the same way as when you play back your project.
Automation will also play back when the automation mode is set to Touch or Latch; however, in that mode, you will also create new or overwrite existing automation when you touch any control in the channel strips or plug-ins.
Bounce in place with volume and pan automation
When you use the Bounce in Place command to bounce single or multiple regions to a track, you have the option to include volume and pan automation.
In the Tracks area menu bar, tap the Default button
, and then tap the Move button 
.Tap a single region or select multiple regions with the Multiple Select button
.Tap the selected region to open its menu, then choose Bounce and Join > Bounce in Place.
The Bounce in Place dialog opens with various settings. See Bounce in place.
Tap the Include Volume/Pan Automation switch to turn it on.
Tap Bounce in the top-right corner of the dialog to perform the bounce.
