•When the track has a volume envelope and the track automation mode is set to Read, the fader/slider will follow the envelope during playback but cannot be adjusted.
•When the track automation mode is set to Touch or Latch, the fader/slider edits the envelope setting at the cursor position. If the track does not have a volume/pan envelope, an envelope will be added when you adjust the fader/slider.

If you adjust the fader/slider during playback, the behavior varies depending on the selected automation recording mode. For more information, see Automating 5.1 surround projects on page 167.
