So after updating to 2018.7 my automation has become really choppy when using my Artist Control, tried a different controller and same result. However, if I do an automation move with my mouse it is smooth. Attached is a screenshot explaining what is happening. On the left is the automation created while using the fader on the Artist mix controller, on the right is the automation created while using the mouse to do the move. Big difference.
