It can get quite confusing having your automation clips and loops overlaying one another when you have 50+ tracks on a project, so be sure to label everything and keep it organized in a way which best suits your production style. I like to keep my automation clips on the top of my playlist and the individual loop patterns at the bottom for better organization purposes. The new automation clips you create will also be populated into the main playlist window by default into the next empty playlist track. The term “step sequencer” is now deprecated and should be referred to as the “channel rack” which features all of the channels that you can individually route to the main mixer.
Remember, your new automation clips will be instantly stored inside of the “step sequencer” (F6 keyboard shortcut) after you create them. Right click on an automation point and try experimenting with different curve modes to get some really cool effects!
