With the New Logic 5.0…. what automation functions has changed?

Total Recall Mixing and Automation

Software mixing has never been easier or more intuitive: Logic Platinum 5 introduces a refined track-based automation system found in the Arrange window. Automated parameters are displayed with full names and values for fast and optimal control over even the most complex automation situations.

Every control movement can be intuitvely recorded and edited using Read, Write, Latch and Touch modes , allowing realtime automated playback of all volume, pan, effects and instrument parameter movements. Supporting 32 Bit value resolutions, and offering sample-accurate precision, you are assured that your mix automation is smooth and exact. The graphic creation of various curve shapes, copy/paste and moving of mix automation data (with or without the underlying MIDI or audio data) and scaling is fast and intuitive. Additionally, the adaptive track mixer reflects the track layout of audio and MIDI channels shown in the Arrange window. Multi format Surround mixing of audio channels, busses and instruments, including individual formats for each track, bus or instrument, is a breeze, even using Digidesign’s TDM system. And every setting of the mixer, the effects and the instruments, as well as the complete automation, is saved with your song.

The result of your automated mix, including all tracks, live inputs, instruments and effects, can be mixed down to a single stereo file or multiple Surround files. This can benefit from the trans-parent POW-r dithering process, assuring that 24Bit/96kHz recordings retain their true sonic character even at 16Bit/44.1kHz CD resolution.
