I’ve searched, not found. I’ve used write automation before, but am having weird, frustrating problem with this track.
Issue 1
- Turn on Read/Write automation with track with volume set to 100 in the Mix Console
- Start playback and after awhile, pull the fader down on the track
- Let go of the mouse cursor holding the fader
- The fader jumps back to the starting value.
Even if I stop playback, as long as I have read/write automation on, I can drag that track’s fader down and when I let go, it snaps back up. I’ve looked all over and did a bunch of googles and found nothing that was this same scenario.
Issue 2: I’ll bet this is easy (because I think I’ve seen it before but cannot find it now)
- Open the Key Editor for the track and select Volume down in the controller window
- Using the pencil tool, insert a single event with a value of 0
- The white dot is 0, but the Mix Console fader is at 54. There is a orange line in the Key Editor controller window that seems to correspond to the 54 value
- If I add an additional event with a higher value (CC7=31), the fader jumps up to 69 and the orange line jumps up accordingly.
- Once again, I can grab that fader and move it up or down, but as soon as I let go of the mouse button, it snaps back to previous value.
- In case it’s not clear with this one, I would like the CC7 value and the fader value to be equal.
EDIT: I have trying going back to a clean slate by inspecting the Event Editor and making sure all CC7 controller events are gone, then trying again, but the “fader pops back to original value” problem persists.
This is all creative-blocking. I’ve spent the past 1.5 hours forgetting whatever music was in my head that I wanted to get down, while trying to figure out this issue.
Thanks for any feedback,
Chris
