So I'm recording an external synth into Live and when I automate say Filte rcutoff I can click on the clip and see the automation recorded below but if I try to automate saw resonance it will not play back my first automated part. I can still see it but wont play it back? Also does live handle ...

I'm being told by Moog I need two midi interfaces to do this in PC? Your thoughts?

Ya I don't know what the problem is I can easily get audio from my Subphatty into live and can record midi data but the midi data wont play back the audio?
