Hi Arlo,
Is there a way to scrub the recording playback forward to see if automation timing changes that have been edited, work?
As an example:
I have an automation track with many events (Recording Start/Stop, Auto Scroll, MIDI patch changes, etc.). If I discover, during playback, that some of the events are not hitting at the right places, I'd like to edit the timing in the event list and the play the automation from the start and the drag the recording slider forward (close to where I've made the changes) to see/hear if it works better.
When I do this now, the audio plays from the correct spot (and the display on the recording control is correct), but the MIDI changes are nowhere close.
Do I have to play back the automation from zero (Return to Zero) and then wait until the section of the recording passes, to determine if it worked or not? Since the automation track is still playing, why doesn't it seem to know that 2.33 on the recording control is still 153.00 seconds in the automation event log? As long as I manually slide the audio to say...145.00, shouldn't this still play any and all automation from that point in the automation track?
I suppose the other option would be to delete the event and overdub again, but that would still require playback from 0.00 to evaluate the change(s).
Thanks,
