click  in  empty  space,  or  directly  on  a  point,  to  select  all  points  on  the  envelope  from  that  point  in  
time  forward.    

With  multiple  points  selected,  click-­‐and-­‐drag,  using  the  Arrow  tool,  on  any  of  the  selected  points,  in  
order  to  move  them  all.  Moving  multiple  points  vertically  to  adjust  the  parameter  values  will  adjust  
each  parameter  value  relative  to  the  point  being  moved.    

10.3.6  Paint  Tool    

Editing  an  automation  envelope  with  the  Paint  tool  allows  you  to  draw  many  automation  points  
with  a  single  move  of  the  mouse,  effectively  painting  an  envelope.  However,  a  single  click  with  the  
Paint  tool  will  add  a  single  point.    

You  can  choose  from  several  figures  when  using  the  Paint  tool,  or  you  can  use  the  Transform  editor,  
as  described  in  the  following  subsections.  Be  sure  to  Show  Automation  and  select  the  Paint  tool  in  
the  Arrange  view  before  attempting  the  following  processes.    

10.3.6.1  Draw  an  Automation  Envelope    

To  draw  an  automation  envelope  using  the  Paint  tool,  click-­‐and-­‐drag  in  the  Track  Lane.  While  you  
are  drawing  the  envelope  horizontally,  points  will  be  added  at  different  time  increments  based  on  
the  current  Timebase.  However,  when  the  mouse  button  is  released  after  drawing  an  envelope  with  
the  Paint  tool,  the  drawn  curves  of  the  envelope  will  be  intelligently  and  accurately  approximated  
to  achieve  the  desired  result  with  as  few  points  as  possible,  which  may  or  may  not  remove  some  
unnecessary  points  from  the  envelope.  If  Snap  is  engaged  in  the  Arrange  view,  the  envelope  points  
being  drawn  will  snap  to  the  grid  accordingly.    

Drawing  an  envelope  with  the  Paint  tool  over  existing  points  on  an  automation  envelope  will  cause  
the  existing  points  to  be  overwritten  with  the  newly  drawn  points.  These  actions  can  be  undone  
and  redone.  

10.3.6.2  Draw  with  Figures    

 

When  selecting  the  Paint  tool,  scroll  the  mouse  wheel  to  reveal  several  figure-­‐drawing  tools,  
including  a  Line  tool  and  Square,  Saw,  Triangle,  and  Sine  waveform  tools.  With  any  of  these  tools  
selected,  click-­‐and-­‐drag  on  any  automation  envelope  to  draw  the  desired  envelope.  When  using  the  
waveform  tools,  hold  [Alt]  to  adjust  the  frequency  of  the  waveform  while  dragging.
