[RWP] automation and surround sound question

[Ken Downey]

I have, sort of, come to understand how the automation works. I know how to get the envelopes visible, though I'm not sure what arms them, and setting automation to write and so on is no problem. I know that I can also use alt upand down arrows to automate volume, alt right and left for pan. I'm wondering if there is a better way to automate these, as the changes are quite gradual. I'm also wondering how to automate effects. For example, we can take a piece and put it through a ring modulator, but the exciting aspect of automation is that we can ride the ring mod frequency up and down through the entire piece, changing it as we go, and having that sound always be the same after that. Am I wrong, or is this doable?
