Set exact parameters in automation

Post by maxdonosos » Mon Nov 24, 2014 4:29 am

Hi, I'm a new Ableton user, but come from extensive work with other DAWs.

I'm loving this DAW with the deepest of my heart, but I just find it a bit mind boggling that there is no automation snap to grid (I know, I figured a work around, but still.)

Another thing that I'd love to see in future versions is a form to set an exact value to a parameter, especially the default point.

When automating pitch bend for example, I've found myself trying to get as close as possible to the 0 value with no success. I'd love it if there was a place where you can type the value, or at least press a shortcut key to set the value of a new automation point to it's default state.

Cheers!

Yes. You can get close to it by holding down control/cmd while adjusting, but typing in values is a no brainer

why isnt there a place for us to put exact values in automation... BPM automation sometimes isn't easy to do

I've been wanting snap to grid and exact values since I registered.
