To add a new node, right click and select Add new node from the popup menu,
or Shift+Click. Alternatively you can set the program so that each click adds a
new node: right click and activate the Click adds node option. When in the
Click adds node mode, holding down the Shift key allows you to freely draw
the evolution of the volume (i.e. every move of the mouse will create a new
node in the piecewise linear waveform). This is useful to manually draw the
envelope, while adding nodes one by one is useful when you want more control
on the envelope editing.
To draw the evolution of an
effect‟s parameter, select
“Effects parameters” in the
pop-up menu, then select
the desired effect in the
left-hand drop-down list and
the parameter in the righthand drop-down list.
You can apply an envelope edit to all
the currently selected tracks (selected
by shift+clicking on the waveforms),
when the right click -> Envelope ->
Apply edits to all selected tracks
option is active.
An alternative way to program the evolution of a parameter is to use fader
automation. During playback, click on the
button on the main transport
toolbar, next to the Tempo and Meter sections. When this button is activated,
every action on a mixer‟s fader (including volume sliders or pan knobs, but
excluding the master volume knob) will be recorded in the evolution envelope
of the relative parameter. If the
button is pressed during playback, the
faders will move according to the relative parameter‟s programmed evolution.
Once an evolution has been recorded, it can be edited on the timeline window;
display the relative parameter‟s evolution by clicking on the
button on the
toolbar.
Unlike with all the other parameters, the aux returns evolutions are shown for
every master channel (i.e. output soundcard) and aux channel in the same
screen: even if these evolutions are drawn on top of certain tracks, there's no
direct connection between these tracks
and the return evolutions, which applies

you can select the time interval during
which the fade should take place by

By clicking on the
icon on the toolbar, the current selection will be muted;
i.e. the volume evolution will be put to zero. Clicking on the same button while
holding down the Ctrl key (Cmd on a Mac) will destructively silence the
