Adjusting assignable effects automation levels
1.Click the Automation Settings button 
and select Show Automation Controls. The fader handle is displayed as a 
in automation mode.
2.Click the label on the multipurpose slider and choose an assignable effects chain from the menu.
3.Drag the FX fader to control the level of the track sent to each of the assignable FX chains that you have created.
The fader behaves differently depending on the track automation recording mode:
•When the track has an assignable effects envelope and the track automation mode is set to Off, the fader adjusts the send level of the entire track. In this mode, the automation control acts as a second trim control.
•When the track has an assignable effects envelope and the track automation mode is set to Read, the fader will follow the envelope during playback but cannot be adjusted.
•When the track has an assignable effects envelope and the track automation mode is set to Touch or Latch, the fader edits the envelope setting at the cursor position. If the track does not have an envelope, one will be created when you adjust the fader.
If multiple tracks are selected, all selected tracks are adjusted.
If you adjust the fader during playback, the behavior varies depending on the selected automation recording mode. For more information, see Automating 5.1 surround projects on page 167.
