Automation strangeness

[timboalogo]

Can someone please confirm if I've invented time travel or not?

timboaloga,

I encountered and reported this problem many months ago; it occurs in both Volume and Pan envelopes and probably any other automation envelope.  It was supposed to have been fixed back in the winter, v. 2025.02, but re-appeared in v. 2025.07.   Hopefully the bakers will fix it soon.  In the meantime, when you encounter it, go to Edit and Undo your attempt to delete any nodes in that portion of the envelope.  This should take you back to the point where your envelope was normal.  Next, convert all of the jump lines in or near the clip and to the left of the last node followed by a jump line (this would be the last node on the right side of the clip you've shown above) to one of the solid lines (linear or curved), then delete the nodes you want to get rid of and reshape the lines in the envelope the way you want them.

It's a nuisance, but my solution will enable you to get the job done until the developers get it fixed.

Thanks aleo for the fix. I've encountered this and similar automation problems in all versions of Sonar that I've owned in my 20+ years, and found this one particularly amusing.

For Noel et al, it was on a paste of the automation only.

Just want to chime in and say I still see this kind of thing once in a while and it is super annoying.
