Some Examples


Multitrack audio software

In modern DAWs every parameter that exists can usually be automatised, be it settings for a track's volume, applied filters or a virtual instruments. Either the user turns some knobs/faders/etc on a physical controller connected to the computer or the user can set keyframes with the mouse, between which the computer interpolates, or the user can draw entire data curves. Some examples: * The volume of a track can sometimes or constantly change (fade-in/out/over) * The panning of a sound might change * A filter sweep (more or less intensive filter, or the frequency limits might change)
