track automation 3.0.10
hi, i'm getting a problem with track automation.
sometimes i can see the automation parameters that i've selected, sometimes i can not.
also, i can not always select a parameter to be automated, it's available in the drop down list but i can not select it.
anyone else experiencing this?
thanks

Can you give us more info, i cant replicate this at all, im able to select all the time and see everything all the time.
What are you trying to automate ?
I have tried just using track automation, then i created pattern automation first then overide it with track automation.
All worked fine.
are you by chance adding a lot of automation parameters to a track? if so, maybe you're trying to add a parameter that is already in the automation list, but it's scrolled out of view? the window only shows 5 automated parameters at a time, so if for example I start adding all sends in order, by the time I've added send 6, send 1 will scroll off the top of the list as the list is scrolled down automatically to the last parameter I added. then, if I try adding send 1 again, nothing happens, as it's already in the list. it would be nice if when you try to add a parameter that's already in the list, the list would jump to show and select that parameter.
my project has 2 midi tracks, 2 audio tracks and 2 aux tracks. (6 channels in total)
i first noticed 2 problems when i started to add automation to the audio tracks. there was no other automation at the time and i wanted to add Volume, Send1, Send2 Automation to one of the Audio Tracks. I was in the SEQUENCER view with the Audio 2 channel selected, I pressed the ‘+automation’ option, which brings up the menu of available automation parameters.
Selecting Volume worked. i would draw in the automation and save the session. But, and this relates to the problem#1, i noticed if i returned to the session the automation had disappeared, although the automation would still be applied to the track when playing. the automation would reappear if i selected another automation parameter.
problem#2 relates to selecting Send1 and Send2 from the parameters list, it wouldn’t work. My work around was to assign Send1 on the track to a macro, then select Macro1 from the available parameters list. I would do this for Send 2 also.
i can’t seem to replicate these 2 problems all the time.
one of the midi tracks does have maybe 10 automations assigned but these are assigned to the AU instrument (and this has no problems). The other 3 tracks (1 midi / 2 audio) only have a maximum of 3 automation parameters,
ok, i’ve managed to grab a couple of screenshots, which relates to Problem#1.
in the first screen shot, you can see the Audio 2 track is selected, nothing is showing but there is actually 3 automation parameters assigned here.
in the second screen shot, Audio 1 is selected. you will see there is no track automations, but you can see the drawn lines. as with Audio2 track, there are 3 track automations here.
I would add that this doesn’t seem to be a problem just for Audio tracks, it happened to Track 1, a midi bank with kick samples.
thanks for checking this problem out. this session isn’t complicated. it has 6 channels and a maximum of 2 plugins per channel plus 1plugin on the master.
i have a 10.9 ipad pro 256gb with lots of free space, ios is 11.2.2 and the latest BM3.
Between this and the sample list issue too, looks like they may have a UI list refresh issue in general.
Just saved a bank with petterns and a macro automation in pattern and it lost the automation, not just visibly, its not there
Not only that but it cant be redrawn either, automation is completely screwed
I’ve had similar issues with pattern automation, selecting e.g. Volume, but no way to draw anything. That problem was solved after reloading, though...
