[RWP] automation

[Jim Snowbarger]

Yep, I held it down, and my key repeat is very fast.
The problem is that they change one key makes is 0.05 DB.  That is just 
insanely small.  nobody, not even you guys with good ears can hear that.
That's why I was seeking an action that moved in 1DB steps.  But, my twenty 
nudge commands were so slow that, while you got more action per key press, 
holding the key down was still ramping at about 10 db per second.
That's still pretty sluggish.
I'm still looking for the SWS item that lets you specify how much to move 
the fader.
