Automation Lanes...
1. I have 5 automation lanes. I have the main’ s track display off. Hitting triangle to unveil the 5 automations.
Logic instead decides to show only 4. I reassign all automation in their lanes, hit “A” to hide automation, hit “A” again to show automation (BTW…Logic could show ALL used automation on this track just with shortcut "A"...), hitting arrow (let’ s lose more time…) and again 4/5 automation are appearing. WHY on earth Logic NEVER keeps the last state in the automation lanes and always messes about?
2. Deleting all automation lanes to start fresh….I decide to use main’ s track to display first automation lane, hitting arrow to unfold the rest. All appear and in order. Not bad…Testing it once more, not bad, it works…THIS time (not always). Setting main track to “Display Off” and starting reassigning all lanes underneath to their corresponding automations again like the first time. Hiding automation, opening automation, again, only 4/5 are showing. WTF?
And this is an example...I have other projects with many tracks where I spend time cleaning a bit automation lanes etc. Why since ALWAYS Logic behaves like a...with automation lanes? When hitting “A” it would have been better to instantly show ALL automation lanes used in that track and in the ORDER left by the user - btw, you can drag and drop and change position of the lanes. What's the purpose since Logic will decide at the end of the day what to show and when!!! It’ s incredible that you work on automation, you hit “A”, you want 2 minutes later to re-edit, and the lane is gone, you need to again make a new lane and select the parameter to modify. Why?
I literally wanted to share this for at least 2 years now but didn’t (still don’t) know if I could be clear on where my problem is although I'm sure many of you can understand
Sorry for the attitude but that's most probably what I hate most about Logic. It's a pity for such a clean and easy in the eye GUI to mess it up like that...
