Re: [LAD] automation on Linux (modular approach)

I do not really understand what the problem is with using MIDI control change for mixers. The resolution? For 2 data bytes there are 127 * 127 = 16129 steps. The number of channels? It's unlimited when using as much IOs as needed. IMO there already is a standard for all apps, it's called MIDI. IMO automation is overrated, it's useful, but OTOH how often is it needed to change settings during an opus? Most times a mix, selected synth etc. are fixed from the start to the end of an opus. For example, normally a musician plays an instrument dynamically by the touch or by using a volume pedal. Dynamic for the loudness seldom is done by a fader after the recording is done. No doubt about it, we do need automation, but we don't need an automation overkill, it just would make everything much more complicated. 2 cents, Ralf
