Track envelope automation is available in ACID Music Studio, allowing the envelope control of numerous MIDI and VST parameters. Exercise precise control over instrument and plug-in parameter changes, and save these changes with your projects.

Sections functionality binds collections of events, envelopes, regions, commands, and markers together, allowing them to be moved as single units in a musical arrangement. Folder Tracks reduce clutter by allowing user-defined groups of tracks (for example, all drum and percussion tracks in a single song) to be nested into their own folder tracks and expanded for viewing as needed. All in all, Folder Tracks allow for cleaning up of your timeline and staying organized.
