Originally posted by SJM Hi people. I've got a little query that i'm hoping you guys could help me with. I have got a copy of 'cubase SL2' and some VSTs and I was wondering if there's any way I could write VST automation to a track in cubase. What I have is a VST called 'Superwave' and I want to be able to change the cutoff at a given point in my lead. However, I don't have a midi keyboard/controller yet so i'm restricted to using a mouse for my midi notes. I did try to ask people on the cubase forum but I didn't get a reply. Any help is appreciated. Kind regards SJM

You can get your answer from Steinberg's website. You can download the manual from here: http://www.steinberg.net/412_1.html

In the future, do your research before posting. Most of the TAs here will just blatantly ignore you with questions stemming from ignorance.

Here's an excerpt from the manual:

Automation track operations
Opening automation subtracks
Every track/channel has a number of automation subtracks, each
showing one automation parameter.
For audio, group, MIDI and FX channel tracks, there are two ways you
can open an automation subtrack for the channel:
• By right-clicking (Win) or [Ctrl]-clicking (Mac) the track in the Track
list and selecting “Show Automation” from the pop-up that appears.
• By clicking on the “Show/Hide Automation” button (the plus sign) in
the Track list for the channel.
An automation subtrack opens in the Track list, and a straight black horizontal line is
shown as well as a greyed out mirror image of the audio events’ waveform (or MIDI
events for MIDI tracks) in the event display. By default, the volume parameter is assigned
to the first subtrack.
Click the “+” button to open an automation subtrack.
For VST Instruments, automation tracks appear automatically when
you add VST Instruments.
For ReWire channels and input/output busses, automation tracks are
automatically created when the Write automation button (see page
306) is activated in either:
• The corresponding channel strip in the mixer.
• The corresponding Channel Settings window.
• The mixer common panel (“Write All”).
• The area above the Track list (“Write All”)
