Automation
In essence, automation means recording the values for a particular MixConsole or effect parameter. When you create your final mix, Nuendo can adjust this particular parameter control.
Automation Panel
The Automation Panel is a floating window, and can be left open while you work.
Operations Tab
The Operations tab contains all functions that you need to perform automation operations.
Automation Modes
Nuendo provides different punch out modes for automation: Touch, Auto-Latch, and Cross-Over. In all modes, automation data is written as soon as a parameter control is touched in play mode. They differ in their punch out behavior.
Auto-Latch
Auto-Latch is useful in situations where you want to keep a value over a longer period of time – for example when making EQ settings for a particular scene.

Auto-Latch

Auto-Latch is useful in situations where you want to keep a value over a longer period of time – for example when making EQ settings for a particular scene.

Once your pass has started, the writing of automation data continues for as long as playback lasts or Write is enabled.
When you release the control, the last value is kept until you punch out.

Note

You can also punch out by clicking Punch Out in the Automation Panel, or by using the Punch Out of Latch Automation key command in the Automation category.

Punch out also occurs, if one of the general punch out conditions is met.

Note

The automation mode for on/off switches is always Auto-Latch even if another mode is selected globally or for the track.
