this is a follow up to a previous question. has anyone been able to get effect parameter automation to work? i know how to assign and draw the effect parameter envelopes but i don’t hear the results. thanks for your help
Yes. 
This is how to do it with autowah. Same procedure applies to other effects as well. The main point being number 5: go to master channel section and press the little triangle
1. you - or actually I - go where you draw volume, aux sends etc envelopes and choose effects parameters.
2. you choose the wah effect you’ve inserted into a guitar track
3. you choose freq to be a parameter to be automated
4. you draw envelopes to get that chicka wooka effect, slow swells etc.
5. you go to master channel section and press the little triangle to get the automated frequency swingin to be heard. (master cahnnel fader movement)
Voilà.
