When I record a clip and adjust parameters using the synth's encoders (either while recording or while overdubbing automation), Live records the automation, but everything before the point where I first move the control is written as a value of 0.
For example, if I start moving the filter cutoff 3 seconds into a clip, the automation from that point onward is recorded correctly. However, the entire automation lane from the start of the clip up to 3 seconds is set to 0 instead of the parameter's current value. If there are notes playing before I touch the encoder, the filter is effectively closed during that section, which obviously isn't what I want.
I would expect Live to assume the parameter's existing value until the first recorded automation point (for example, if the filter was halfway open before I touched it, the automation should remain at that value until I start moving the knob). Instead, it inserts a value of 0 from the beginning of the clip.
This happens regardless of which parameter I'm automating. As a workaround, I can delete the first automation point at 0, and then everything plays back correctly, but having to do that every time is a huge hassle. As I mentioned, Logic doesn't behave this way.
I've also tried different encoder/takeover modes on both the synth and in Ableton Live, but they don't affect the behavior.
Has anyone experienced this or found a solution?
