Using Automation

1. In the Studio, toggle the Automation lane by pressing A on your keyboard or by clicking the Automation button located above your track headers

4. To delete or reset automation, highlight the breakpoints, right-click on the automation lane, and select Delete or Reset Automation
5. Click the Automation button again to hide the Automation lane
