The article raises attention to the advantages and disadvantages of complete automation in DSP processes (including the triggering of events) during the performance of interactive music. By proposing a historic summary divided in three main periods according to the technologies, methods and processes available during each of them, (including examples of key works and composers), it shows how the usage of automation in live-electronics was dependent on the development of new technologies, specially digital. Further, it explains how full automation works in two works of mine, describing the features and techniques involved. Considering those examples, the advantages and disadvantages resulting from the introduction of complete automation of DSP in live performance are finally discussed. Even though automation is not a new technique in the field, I am keen to dedicate special attention to completely automated events -including their triggering- given the impact that automation can have on performances.
