Types of Automation
- Voltage Controlled Automation: fader levels are regulated by voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCA). VCAs control the audio level and not the actual fader.
- Moving Fader Automation: a motor is attached to the fader, which then can be controlled by the console, digital audio workstation (DAW), or user.
- Software Controlled Automation: the software can be internal to the console, or external as part of a DAW. The virtual fader can be adjusted in the software by the user.
- MIDI Automation: the communications protocol MIDI can be used to send messages to the console to control automation.
