New Automation Features

[Rob_Storm]

To speed up an automation workflow, especially for riding bass and vocals, the following would be amazing to have:

• Automatically drop automation points in the automation track using hitpoints, using a macro or other similiar process

• There are two options here:

• either the software needs to generate automation points at the hit point and one slightly before it so when moving the point on the transient, you don’t alter the values before it

• you can add a new automation point using an assignable key, and you then have control over the new point

• Be able to scroll through automation points using assignable keys for next and back actions

• Be able to make incremental adjustments using assignable keys - increments can be set in a shortcut-accessible pop up menu (much like the quantize panel is)

• A huge bonus would be able to build a macro that finds the RMS of each audio event (between hitpoint markers), and adjust the value of the automation points accordingly to match a target value.

Thanks!

Sort of like in this gif?

I am using a tiny macro.
It only has the command

• Locate Next Hitpoint
• Paste

in them

But before I use it I have to make sure that 1. I copied some automation points. And 2. that I have the track with the hitpoint data and the automation lane selected.

• Be able to scroll through automation points using assignable keys for next and back actions

You can skip through automation points with B and N. You need to select the automation lane however.

• Be able to make incremental adjustments using assignable keys - increments can be set in a shortcut-accessible pop up menu (much like the quantize panel is)

Not exactly sure what you mean but you can make adjustments to the value of the points in the info line.

Why? What would you use such a feature for?
