[Rwp] Automation

Mon Jun 8 05:33:04 EDT 2015

That reaper default behavior of not staying put when you write 
automation but snapping back to the original drives me nuts.

I stil haven't figured out how to defeat that behavior,
if anyone has a quick tip on that, would be very appreciated.
I'm from the village of automation users that wants it to stay where I 
leave it till I change it again.

But different strokes and all that.
