isnt the automation in fruity 5 so you can make certain effects for a certain part of the mix. Such as attaching a cut off filter to the automation of say your main lead...stretching the automation out in the playlist on the bottom area and then editing to see how you want your filter to work...bringing the synth into play?

i dont know if i am right
open-mind
well, the automation works like any automation in any sequencer.
In the tutorials, there is the "how does it works"

automation is basically for when you want a knob value to change during the course of the song

Say you wanted a filter sweep, just as an example, Hit the record button in the pattern you what automation, turn the filter knob on your vst, when done hit stop and play back the pattern, records your filter whhallaaa

There are two ways of doing automation in the new version of FL. First, like somebody said, you can click record button and then turn the knobs. The change in envelopes for this knob will be recorded. To view these changes, right click on the knob and select edit (or something similar to that, i forget). You will be shown the envelope where you can manually draw on it. This is the old way which I hate.

In the new version there is a new feature called Automation Clips. You can place these Clips (tracks) in your Play List (at the bottom). Then you can assign any parameter to this Clip that you want to automate. The Automation Clip has automation envelope ontop of it just like in albeton live, logic, or cubase. It is much easier to do it this way and you see what is happening in the song.

To get more info about this, find Automation Clips in the manual.
