Automations and clip/event/sample whatever you call your objects on your linear grid/table/arrangment view, automations can coexist together or seperately, directly inside the clips of audio or midi and your track!! Being forced to keep it within the tracks, youll never go looking where you put that damn pan automation because you forgot what color you set it when its somewhere, long forgotten in your 96 automation clips. arrangment view has a much better system track automations anyway. Not great but it can be done in session view check it on youtube or google.
