"OK. Right now I'm going to show you a nice little item that actually helps you to see what you've done under your automation and just to visually see it actually. So, I'm just going to show you that very quickly. You'll go under preferences. They'll be under your general preferences, again. There will be a box that says show automation indication. Now, basically what that means is that whenever you do any sort of automation, if that box is checked, which generally it would be unless you change it. You have a green box that appears around the knob or parameter that you have automated. So, after that you can go through and if you have a lot of instruments you can actually see which ones have automation that has been done to them. As you can see here; this automation has been done here. It's just something; it's a helpful tool to know, you know, where your automations are located. As you can see, if I start this song here you'll be able to see the knob will turn; as you can see, some automation being done there. OK. So, it's definitely something that is useful. I mean you can turn it off if you like, if that's another one of those things that you just don't like to see. See, the knob is still turning with it, but you don't see the little green boxes there. So, it's up to you to decide if you feel like that's something that you like about your stuff."
