Track Automations can trigger events based on the playback state of a track. Such as playing one track when another track ends.

Basic Overview

Any track can have Track Automations added to it. These are actions that are applied to other tracks that are triggered by the playback state of this track.

Track Automations are always owned by a track (the track that triggers the automation) and always applied to a different track (the track you want to automation to affect).

All Track Automations have a trigger event, an action to take, and a track to apply that action to.

Example Automations

• When Track 1 reaches its end, play track 2.
• When Voiceover 1 begins playing, adjust the volume of Background Music 1 to 20%.
• When Voiceover 1 reaches its end, adjust the volume of Background Music 1 to 100%.

Many more combinations are available.

Triggers

A Track Automation’s trigger defines exactly when to take action. There are currently three options:

• Track Begins Playing
  This Automation run whenever this track begins playing.
• Track is Stopped
  This Automation run whenever this track is manually stopped by you tapping on the track while it’s playing. This will not run if the track is stopped by the global stop button. This will not run when the track reaches its end.
• Track Reaches End
  This Automation run when this track reaches its end. This includes if you have trimmed this track’s end point.
