To gain flexibility and CPU, I would like to have the possibility to pan directly on the clip.
That is to say, to have the possibility to do like an envelope on the clip but with the panning. This would allow to leave the automation of the pan of the empty track for the post production mixer.
Like Reaper could do…
I think your idea is a great step to the future of DAW’s in conjunction with audio post productional mixing: clip based mixing instead of track based mixing.
