+<p>
+  <dfn>Automation</dfn> is the ability to dynamically control various aspects
+  of a track's innate attributes and the attributes of any processors attached
+  to it. In Ardour, automation can be used to make dynamic changes to a
+  track's:
+</p>
 
+<ul>
+  <li>Volume</li>
+  <li>Panning</li>
+  <li>Trim</li>
+  <li>Muting</li>
+  <li>Any attached processor's parameters</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+  Any combination of these can be enabled on a single track; as such, it offers
+  a lot of power and flexibility over how a track will ultimately sound when
+  played back.
