T7 - Add automation clips

[fwsuperhero]

Hello,
T7 update is great! I got back to the Tracktion because of new and unique features. I love the audio clip FXs.

But
1) Why should i use LFO if it cant be modulated? New "create automatization shapes between markers" is much more flexible.
I dont get it. Look at Renoise, its assignable LFO can be modulated like any other effect.

2) Is there any fast and easy way how to copy part of automatization from track to track? I miss something like automatization clips (shape of automatization is saved in clip that can be copied/moved and assigned to any automatized value).
You should add them, not many daws have them (hands down FL Studio, Reason and MuLab...)

+1 for clip-based automation like FL Studio.

I am with you on question,1.

On question 2, Just copy the marked region of the track, and it can pasted it at the cursor point or in a marked region of a selected track and it can be used to automate any automatable parameters on that track.

Well, that's an interesting point. Using this method requires more steps and worse yet planning: You first have to make a selection (often involving zooming if you need accuracy), copying, then pasting. With automation containers you simply click and drag to desired location. You can also copy and paste to another (muted) track for later use, like an automation pool. Automation clips can apply to any parameter depending on which track they are. Automation clips have a start and end, which makes them more manageable, vs a single automation line which is just that, a collection of points.

The traditional single-line method works well for traditional music styles e.g. pop, rock, etc., and even then working with track-based automation requires too many steps, planning and hand dexterity. For electronic music where automation can be rhythmic and repeating, producers need more advanced ways to manipulate automation envelopes. It is becuase most DAWs lack this ability that plugins such as Xfer Records LFO Tool and Cableguys VolumeShaper exist.

I like both of these ideas, especially #1.
