Modes of Automation
- Auto Write: used the first time automation is created or when writing over existing automation
- Auto Touch: writes automation data only while a fader is touched/faders return to any previously automated position after release
- Auto Latch: starts writing automation data when a fader is touched/stays in position after release
- Auto Read: digital Audio Workstation performs the written automation
- Auto Off: automation is temporarily disabled
All of these include the mute button. If mute is pressed during writing of automation, the audio track will be muted during playback of that automation. Depending on software, other parameters such as panning, sends, and plug-in controls can be automated as well. In some cases, automation can be written using a digital potentiometer (d-pot) instead of a fader.

“Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Without any extraordinary effort of genius, I have discovered that nature was the same three thousand years ago as at present; that men were but men then as well as now; that modes and customs vary often, but that human nature is always the same. And I can no more suppose, that men were better, braver, or wiser, fifteen hundred or three thousand years ago, than I can suppose that the animals or vegetables were better than they are now.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Besides black art, there is only automation and mechanization.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
