I completely get how to create automation for the various features on a channel strip, but what about the other type of automation? Sometimes when Im recording a virtual instrument I see some column looking things in the track and I don't know how to select/alter them. For example, if I move the pitch wheel on my midi keyboard while recording, the column things will show up in the track. I can't select them. Do you know what I'm talking about?

@rhetttr0 I think i know what you mean. Try double clicking the midi regien so you get your piano roll up, in the very bottom left you should see 3 horizontal lines. the default setting will bring up note velocity, There is a small arrow in the left column to change what parameter you want to manipulate. I hope this helps.

Your tutorials have heloed me so much, thanks again! How do you record from my Yamaha S90 keyboard, via midi? (Meaning use my sounds from my S90, but instead of recording in an audio track, having the midi manioulation capabilities)

I downloaded an S90 "environment" but I'm still not clear on how to set it up. Also I run midi via my mbox2

@jarrettdbaker the only way i know how to do what you want is to have the keyboard connected via external midi in logic but then you would have to have an audio lead with an audio track to use the sounds from the Yamaha's sound board, this would allow you to write in midi and hear play back through your yamaha but when you where finished you would set the audio track to record to capture what you make. hope this helps if not let me know and ill make a quick video showing how i do this.

@KIllaCuzza How do you create an audio lead? If you have time to post a quick vid, that'd be awesome. Thanks again.

@jarrettdbaker Just above the fader and pan there is a small grey box, that is the grouping option click and hold to create a group then assign everything you want then add others to your group hope this helps.
