[RWP] Automation

[Indigo]

If you set the midi CC used as a shortcut to control the action: track 
set volume on selected track; or one of the other actions that are 
similar; like set volume on last touched track; or set volume on master 
track; with the options for that CC message set to absolute; with a 
checkmark placed on soft takeover; you won't hear a jump when you begin 
writing automation from a surface; and the last setting when you stop 
writing will fill out to the end of the track; no need to do anything 
special to continue last written level to the end of the track.
In the example automation I posted; I left the pan setting way over to 
one side; in hopes that it would be noticed that the last automation 
setting you write does continue to the end of track.
Of course you need to remember to return the change of volume; pan; 
whatever to what you want to hear for the remainder of the track.
There may be a setting in preferences/automation that changes whether 
automation level fills out or returns to original level by itself; but I 
haven't really got a handle onto that one yet.

The way it works is u enable write, and play the track from the beginning.  to set that level or pan etc. The good thing is  u just have to engage the transport in order to set automatation for that entire track. Then you move to the part   where ever in the song u want to actually put in the automated change and select that time frame. make the changes to volume or pan or etc, then let the transport play to the end of that selection. Once you do that  it will automate a change for just that area thats selected and jump back to the other values once it plays past that selected area. So if u want to keep that change to the end you need to use the fill automation to the end of track similar to reaper. In all honesty though this work flow in reaper and PT is a lot more conducive to my workflow and the way most engineers i hear of doing automation use it.

In pt, some of those really change in tiny increments when using the keyboard with voice over on the mac while using the whiz wheel lets you run through it.  I haven't used reaper in a while, and I get confused with all these different daw software packages around these days.
