Multiple Edit Playlists and Audio Track Automation

All edit playlists on a single audio track share the same automation data. When you record or edit automation data in an audio track, the automation data is stored in the track’s corresponding automation playlist so it can be edited with, or independently from, its associated audio clips.

MIDI continuous controller data always follows clip editing, with the exception of mute. See MIDI and Instrument Tracks for more information.

When you copy or cut audio data from a track while it is in Waveform view, the underlying automation data is cut or copied with it.

If you paste audio data from other locations or tracks into an edit playlist, you may change the underlying automation data on the track.

When you trim clips using Edit > Trim, the underlying automation data remains unchanged.
