Play automation in Logic Pro for iPad

1. In the Tracks area menu bar, tap the Automation View button  (or press A on your external keyboard).

2. Scroll through the track list to see if the automation mode on all tracks is set to Read.

3. 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.

   All tracks are now set to Read mode.

   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.
