Hi there all!!
Pretty new to Reaper here, ex Pro Tools guy. Loving things so far, really enjoy working in Reaper - much more so than I did Pro Tools. I'm still getting my head around some of the differences though - and this one is puzzling me.
In the screen shot below, you'll see a track I added an automation item to for volume. I'm in touch mode (I have a Faderport 16 attached, in case that affects anything). Even though my 'actual' volume setting is -20 in the non-automation item part of the song, the green line is very low, and difficult to adjust by hand because it seems to be compacted at the bottom of the automation lane, not relative to the actual volume. There's a white line about half way up, I have no idea what that signifies (it disappears if I change automation modes), but I'm guessing it may be the actual fader level on my Faderport (which is at 0, should it not be at -20?).
What's going on here? Is there a way to make the automation lane reset so -20 is in it's proper relative spot in the automation lane, and when I put the track in touch mode the fader on my Faderport is at the proper level of -20 (not 0, which I'd expect to see in trim/read mode not touch mode)?
Hope this all makes sense! Thanks in advance for any insight here!!
