option to set absolute automation in session

Post by akust » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:25 pm

I wish to have the same absolute automation like in arrangement but anyhow in session. The simplest way maybe is to (optionally) set the clip automations also absolute, equal to arrangements automation.

why
In a compound session set for live performance I need changes of racks, Instrument controls, sends, fx controls... all it could be done in a scene containing absolute automations. Then I can simply play ahead without need to remember and set any relative automation all the time - into all the following clips.. you know...

I respect the relative clip automation, it's an interesting addition. But unfortunately I become desperate collecting session into a longer set.

At the moment I only found the circumstantial way to remote everything by midi and change the mix settings via clip playing the remote data into midi Loopback back to Live (remote). It works but it's not really elegant and too bad about the rare CC's...

regards!
