When im using a synth plugin, such as Helmet, when I am recording holding down a note, while making parameter changes to the plugin, when I was recording lets say around beat 50, how it sounded while i was recording it, is completely different than when I revisit and listen to around beat 50. Somehow how it sounds when I'm recording it, is completely different than how it sounded when I was recording. Why is this and how do I completely replicate how it sounds when Im using the plugin vs when I go to revisit it? I am thinking it is from a glitch in the automation of one change that then changes all of it even when revisited that I am unaware of, maybe an on or off only automation, but I cannot find one that would be the case. I do know that if I change the parameter at the very end while not recording anymore it will change the parameter for the entire song, but this is not happening in this case. Please help!

modulation in the synth (like LFOs) that don't start at the same time as you recorded. Some of these modulations can be' set to retrigger, but that is not always desirable.

solution: commit to audio, like in realtime recording the resulting audio to an audio track, not bouncing.
