Description

Smooth and thin automation data after recording or drawing

When recording automation or drawing envelope curves, ACID software creates as many envelope points or keyframes as possible to represent your control movements.

Select this check box if you want to reduce the number of envelope points/keyframes after recording/drawing is finished.

Thinning is not applied to MIDI controller envelopes that you record from a hardware device.

Set controls to default values when automation is turned off

Select this check box if you want controls to return to their default values when set the track’s automation recording mode to Automation Off. Automated effect parameters do not have default settings and will retain their last-set values when you turn automation off.

When the check box is cleared, controls will retain their last-set values when you turn automation off.
