"Read mode" for effects

Post by MZR » Wed Oct 05, 2022 12:20 pm

I couldn't find any information on whether this is possible, but it doesn't seem to be: I would love to be able to basically record the way I manually manipulate for example an EQ by dragging filters around with the mouse. Either by clicking on the record button or a separate "Read" button beforehand. I feel like this would save a lot of time in some cases compared to automating every part of the EQ individually.

That's called "automation" in Live and most other audio software.

My bad.. I only attributed the term "automation" to everything that's initiated by pressing 'A'. Now I feel stupid for posting this in the Feature Wishlist forum :oops:

Don't worry, you were just trying to contribute with an idea.
