tempo. By default, only the Volume envelope is visible because Transposition and Tempo
are specifically for projects containing only tagged and looping clips.

Recording Automation Data

In addition to working with envelopes, you can record automation data in Soundtrack Pro.
You can record movements you make to faders, sliders, and other onscreen controls using
the pointer. You can also connect a supported control surface to your computer and
record movements to controls and faders on the control surface. When you record
movements to onscreen controls or control surface controls, the corresponding envelope
in the Timeline (or File Editor) changes to display the recorded automation data. You can
edit the envelope to fine-tune the automation data after recording.
