- Problems with the realtime preview when using higher rates:
- It is not possible to completely hide certain areas of the spectrum.
- You have corrected the frequency response of a sample and then analyze the result once again. The result does not match the corrected frequency response (the blue line before performing filtering).
- Also resonance-like sounds arise in wideband band passes.
- In the "Fade start" or "Fade end" filter mode, fading is not applied uniformly.

332 AUTOMATION
When trimming a range, new automation points will be set at the range's edges. If you
move the fader for a relative volume adjustment during playback, the relative adjustments
will be displayed. You can see the current difference to the previously recorded value in the
fader value box as well as in the tool tip which appears.
If the option "Use snap for automation curve points" (System options -> Program ->
General) is selected, automation points may be set while moving set values on the grid.
This mode is useful if you want to maintain the existing automation movements, or increase
or decrease the overall level.
In "Trim" mode, automation data is only recorded as long as you touch the selected control
element with the mouse or touch it from your external controller. As soon as you release
the button, the automation recording stops. Once released, the control element will move
back to the previously recorded position.
You can set the fader return time in the "MIDI controller automation" dialog in "Settings -
> Time constant for user entry". The "MIDI controller automation" dialog can be
accessed by right clicking the automation button in the track editor.
