you should be able to automate (record) the movement of you increasing the volume (output) of a particular drum machine or synth. I don't know if you can automate any of the mixers functions, that would be the other way to do it...

Like Cypher said you can either automate the output control(draw a curve/slope in the midi editor) or Record(hit the record button and twiddle the output knob/slider) for the drum machine; OR automate or record at the main mixer stage; Or 3rd alternative edit individual drum velocities for the specific track in the sequencer's event editor. I think that covers all bases beside using a level controller in the insert slot which would be in most cases pretty unnecessary

Hope this helps sometimes pictures are better to explain things words can often lead to misunderstandings. best to keep on doing what youve been doing and just play around with the thing and before you know it you'll have syncable LFO's pushing the buttons for ya an all kinds of automated madness. have fun . fun's good.

That's what I'm trying to do I believe. By at the main mixer stage do you mean at mixdown? Or can it be done before then? I've been playing around for a while but no luck so far...

and I thought I had a good understanding of Cubase

How can such a basic thing be made so difficult, did dynamics stop being important since 1975?

Automation isn't THAT difficult in cubase. Isn't there any chapter on this in the manual?

"stolen" screenshots of automation in cubase:

you can usually automate any visual parameter (and often more) in any vst effect or instrument.
