+1 I would find it lots more useable if when you go into write mode, the fader automation does not automatically write a point at -inf, but instead starts writing from wherever the channel fader is set when the project is stopped at its beginning. As it stands, I set up a mix, and as soon as I start automating, so that I can make changes as the project plays, the mix is messed up.

Or am I doing something wrong? Cheers

The design Reaper has for Automation has a lot to be desired IMO it's not intuitive at all to me ??, and the help file really does not explaining the functions and how they work very well.

I don't think this has been thought out very well at all again IMO

Justin has done a great job with so many other parts of Reaper that it KILLS me to see the automation in the state it is.

Rocket did an excellent job of explaining using automation in Reaper in a video, here's the link to the thread:

The Not So Good: It has some practical limitations that (imo) can't be overcome within that current design .. things that go beyond subjective opinion. The Vegas automation model it kinda emulates is really outdated compared to many other systems.

The Good: It's very usable and people that really love the daw, the company ethic and the Reaper community won't really care too much so it's all good... they'll automate what they need to automate and get on with their lives.

do you have another post on this somewhere?

what is not possible within the current design? I would like to hear more about this.

I think Justin is Killing himself trying to bring that Mac build up to this state. I am sure that once that has been accomplished... and once the other things Cockos has on its plate have been accomplished... automation will get some love.

hooray! for in-line editing & amalgamation parts
