Default 12.8.2 - Send Automation Faulty

Hey everyone,

Just noticed this weird automation error.

Playing back, send automation doesn't appear to be reading correctly. Playing from a nil line - no send automation works. Playing back from mid send, the automation works.

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm about to start a case.

Maybe I’m being a bit dense, but that looks like it’s working exactly as it should? Not sure what you mean by “nil line”.

Now that I've actually watched, it does appear to be working properly.

If I play through from the automation line at '0' - the automation line moves the fader. But no information goes through the send. Look at the send meter in the video - when I play through from where the automation line is at its highest point, signal is sent through the send meter.

The line is moving the fader, but it's not sending any information through the send itself.

*watch the video with sound on, listen for the reverb and watch the meter on the send channel relative to where I play the timeline from.

No it does not work properly, because the fader rises as it should, but no signal is send if he starts playback from a point where the automation reads -inf.

It only works if he starts from a point where the fader ist up a bit.

I will try that here if I can recreate the issue.

EDIT: Can not recreate that. Works like it should here. No matter if i start from -inf or any other point. Fader is moving AND audio is passed.

Probably some issue with 10.13?

Gotcha! Sorry I didn't actually think to listen

Yes that does seem wrong, but I can't recreate here either. You could maybe export just that track as a new session and see if one of us can get it repro'd?

Create new session, import track
This needs to be tried before even posting IMO.

So I set up a duplicate send - then tried to copy the automation line over .. Which didn't work? So then I raged and deleted both sends, and set up a completely fresh one and redrew all automation. Now it works fine, glitch in the matrix apparently. Thanks for all your input everyone!
