Default Envelope point layers

Hi everyone, why is not possible to press Shift select multiple lanes of automation to delete points for all lanes ?
For example i have automated Frequency gain for 11 bands using fabfilter Pro Q2, i want to delete multiple points on every lane, do i have to delete one by one ?

AFAIK you can't operate on multiple lanes at the same time

I think is absolute non sense if so.
Editing multiple points on different lanes should be possible, it is one main feature that should be possible in the next release.

I thought that's the sort of thing automation items were supposed to deal with. Don't they work kinda like pooled MIDI?

X-Raym has made several scripts dealing with envelope editing.
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....=1#post1497876

One that could maybe work in this case would be X-Raym_Delete visible armed envelope points of selected tracks in time selection.lua. Check all of them to see what would be the best option. Afaik, these scripts are available via ReaPack;

I'm also hoping to find a solution to this. Tonight was the first night that I'm seriously bugged about the way Reaper handles multiple envelope lanes. Or, doesn't handle, I should say. I have about 35 envelope lanes for one particular track right now, all of which are changing for particular chords. The problem is, I now want to change the "fade in" of each new envelope change to be just a beat or two longer. Instead of being able to highlight the starting points all the way down the 35 envelope lanes and just dragging them to the left, I have to do each one separately. And if that needs changed because it wasn't good enough? I have to do it all again. Serious time killer I've run into. I really do hope that there is some secret to this that just isn't clearly noticeable up front.

Exactly - Grouping should be able to deal with this.

EG: ProTools - when you group tracks, ALL automation and editing is assignable to each group.

Want to change 50 fade ins? - select any track that is in the group, and adjust the fade and all grouped tracks will do the same

BOOM - Instant, fast adjustment of 50 fades : it works.

Reapers grouping needs some love
(track grouping specifically)

That can work in reaper for fades on the items... even easier really just select the items and fade them all... but that is not automation envelopes
they are still one at a time

Perhaps you can try the following: Make a time selection across the fade-in, then use this script to insert automation items into all visible envelopes of all selected tracks. You can then alt+leftdrag shrink or expand the points within all these new AIs together. (If you prefer to insert pool AIs, just un-comment the commented line.)
Code:
reaper.Undo_BeginBlock2(0)

timeStart, timeEnd = reaper.GetSet_LoopTimeRange2(0, false, false, 0, 0, false)

tEnvIndices = {}
for t = 0, reaper.CountSelectedTracks(0)-1 do
    track = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0, t)
    for e = 0, reaper.CountTrackEnvelopes(track)-1 do
        env = reaper.GetTrackEnvelope(track, e)
        local chunkOK, envChunk = reaper.GetEnvelopeStateChunk(env, "", false)
        if chunkOK then
            if not envChunk:match("\nVIS 0 ") then
                if not poolID then
                    tEnvIndices[env] = reaper.InsertAutomationItem(env, -1, timeStart, timeEnd-timeStart)
                    --poolID = reaper.GetSetAutomationItemInfo(env, tEnvIndices[env], "D_POOL_ID", 0, false) -- UN-COMMENT THIS LINE TO INSERT POOLED AIs
                else
                    tEnvIndices[env] = reaper.InsertAutomationItem(env, poolID, timeStart, timeEnd-timeStart)
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

for env, index in pairs(tEnvIndices) do
    reaper.GetSetAutomationItemInfo(env, index, "D_UISEL", 1, true)
end

reaper.UpdateArrange()

reaper.Undo_Endblock2(0, "Insert automation items", -1)
Even easier: If all your automation is already in AIs -- as they should be! -- then you can simply select all lanes that you want to edit together, make the time selection across the fade-in, and Ctrl+mouse-wiggle to split the AIs at the time selection and create small new ones that you can shrink or expand together. (I prefer this second option, because new AIs that created by Ctrl-wiggling don't add edge points.)

Julian... how do you select more than one automation lane at a time... even on the same track?

I have never been able to do that?????

Use Automation Items! (Plain automation without AIs is outdated, and automation editing is so much easier if all automation is in AIs, similar to how all audio is in Media Items.)

Of course, soon you will be able to Area Select across multiple plain automation lanes too: Area(51) Selection.
