Nearly every other modern DAW doesn’t require you to open up a whole separate lane in order to do automation edits.
To do even one small volume change, I must pop open a new lane which has a different size than the host track. Why can’t the envelope just be written over the waveform on the same track???
All I can tell ya is that there is a certain amount of fatigue amongst long-time users (well, this long-time) user that so many dead obvious fixes have never been implemented. How fatigued? Well, this is simply a pasted piece of boiler plate text I use over and over.
So don’t feel bad if yer post hasn’t be +1’d much. It doesn’t mean it’s not a great idea. It just means that people don’t feel anyone in the castle is listening.
