Automations requests Improvements

Hello,

During daily use I realize that some things about automation can be improved in some basic but important aspects.

I proceed with the list of three points:

  1. Possibility to be able to compress/expand horizontally the selected automation (for example of the filter or other parameters). In the screenshot you can see how the selection rectangle allows only vertical modification in all its variables but not horizontally, often there is the need to lengthen or compress the aperture of a filter, resonance, reverbers etc…

  1. Possibility of being able to create on/off points with the selection also on the on/off parameters (an effect bypass or switches in general). Currently it is only possible for scale value parameters.

  1. Ability to scale the automation when a zone is deleted and the grid is activated in shuffle mode. Currently the automation is deleted in the area that was selected to be deleted.

I hope that these my requests can be taken into serious consideration by the team and other users, maybe with a vote.

Thank you and have good work;)

  1. When using shared copies, automation belonging to shard part should also be updated everywhere if changed in one of the copies.

Yeah, this doesn’t work with the Range tool. You’d have to switch to the Select tool, then you can compress/stretch horizontally.

Exactly, it would be good to always be able to work with the range tool
