[RWP] question

[Scott Chesworth]

Pro Tools acts the same way with automation with things returning to
their pre-automated state after you've written a change. Granted, the
thing where Reaper is trying to fill between automation if you don't
work through the timeline in series does sound like madness yup. I
don't really have the experience to figure out what's going on with
that, sorry man. Item volume changes work here because I'm only
dealing with nudging instruments and vocals up a few DB for extra
impact etc, but yeah, definitely not a conducive workflow to achieve
what you're describing. I honestly can't imagine having the time or
patience to write a hundred moves to a vocal track lol.
