Yes, indeed. I, for instance, is an electronic musician. I do not record stuff, I do not have takes. For me automation is close to 60-70% of the work, because my tunes are tunes of sound manipulation. Most electronic music is not note based music, that is, its beauty lies not in the notes it plays, but in the way sound is manipulated, arrangement is built. For me automation is as important as an ability to have a master sync. And automation is being put on a lot of things - on a lot of parameters of synthesizers, on volume, panning, gating and God knows how many things. And at the same time my music is not "experimental" music like they do with CSound. It is ambient, dub, it is usually pretty sweet to the ears (that is, no harsh, non-melodic sounds) and to a person who is not familiar with the process of creation of such a music it may be of a surprise that doing such music takes so much delicate tweaking.
