[RWP] Automation

The only bad thing about that is when your mixing in to a compressor, it
acts differently than when the compressor is on the track.
When you turn up volume, it's going to push the compressor harder, but I
guess item based volume changes will do that anyway.
Another reason to love automation because the volume is turned up but the
effects aren't changed, ie pushed harder or anything.
That why I hate to keep refering to sonar as comparison, but when I do
volume automation in sonar, it doesn't change how hard the compressors are
pused or other dynamic processing on that track.
But when I do an actual volume gain on the wav, it will.
One thing I guess you could do is export or dump the track with effects and
do your mixing after the track's been processed, but then if you want to
step back or decided you don't like how you set your effects, you've
committed yourself.
Of course,
you won't notice changes that much unless they're big ones, one db here and
there won't matter, but that can work against you too, when you mix in to a
compressor, it's pushing back against you and your going to make different
choices in judgement.
Which is another topic entirely, and there are times you might want to mix
in to a compressor,
but that's getting beyond the scope of what we're discussing.
