Recording Automation Using Hardware Controllers

RECORDING AUTOMATION USING HARDWARE CONTROLLERS

This works almost exactly as described in the Recording Automation Using Onscreen Controls section but instead of moving or clicking the mouse on virtual on-screen controllers, you’ll be able to record the movements of the knobs, sliders, or buttons on a hardware controller, which is really fun and more impressive for studio bystanders.

To record automation using a dedicated hardware controller such as the Mackie MCU or Novation Launchpad, see Using Natively Supported Hardware Controllers.
