Automation issues

Hi
2 related questions

1 when you draw in automation between particular bars, how do you work around the issue that it builds in the effect before and after? It's confusing, as if I'm running say a lp filter sweep I don't know what the equivalent filter setting was before I started sweeping/and needs to be at the beginning if next bar.

2 I recorded a live xyfx sweep, i wanted to edit it, because of the issue above I thought list edit would help. I could see on this example I started a fraction late, so I wanted to adjust the time in list. I could see the time on list editor but it wouldn't let me tweak it. Can I do this?

If there are workarounds would be great to hear.

Cheers

Have same issues. Tbh it's almost unusable for me. It's easy to punch in automation in one sequence but it's basically impossible to determine what automation is applied where in the proceeding sequence and it's screwing up all my levels.

It doesn't work any different than any DAW or MIDI sequencer, or even any synth or effect processor. If you move a parameter value, it stays exactly where you left it, there's no 'snapping back' its up to you to pay attention to what your parameter was set to before and do your sweep properly.

What am I not understanding here?
I’m missing something aren’t I?
I tend to do my automated filter sweeps inside the plugins or default filter pages, not xy.

The issue is specific to xy, where in list edit you can see the input, effect and timing. But when you go on the timing to edit it to adjust it wont let you adjust the click. Seems a simple thing to get fixed if it's a bug.

*clock, not click.

or steps to recreate the problem so I can check it out on my end?

Cheers, simplest way to recreat is to to do a filter sweep and then try to tweak timings in list edit. I.e start sweep a bar later. When you get to the clock times on mine it won't let you adjust them. But for other events it will.

Why not just combine two sequences that you want to automate over into a new sequence and record automation over that?
