Tab to automation breakpoints..turn off ??

[Benny Mouthon]

Hi all,

how can I turn this off in (Mac OS) Ultimate 2023.3 ? (=when i auto. view, tab now stops at every breakpoint in, say, the volume changes).

thanks..

I saw that too.

My workaround:

Put the automation on another lane, and the main lane in waveform.

Then Tab to Transient follows the waveform. If you Tab to Transient on a lane with automation, it follows breakpoints.

I could see the desire to have an automation lane and tab to transient follow just the audio, but my workaround gives that functionality, just using two lanes.

That work around totally works. But this needs to be an option to turn off. If I'm doing dialog and say one phrase is coming in a little hot or a little low, I would click the start of the phrase and hit tab to go to the end of the region. Since it already has automation, going to the next breakpoint is asinine. Having a second automation lane open is clutter and lower resolution.

Yeah, two toggles, one for "Tab to transients",the other for "Tab to breakpoints" would give 4 modes of operation.

By "adding this new feature" they kept the original "turned off" state, broke the existing mode of operation, forced a mode some people clearly already hate.

With two toggles, all three modes mentioned would work, plus the fourth where you can tab through breakpoints but NOT transients.

The forced switch is clearly a bad design choice. "Oh let's make it simpler, one button, but changed behaviour and no option but to take this additional function out" -- ummm.... That wasn't thought through.

Two toggles and the rest of the implementation, regarding waveform vs automation lane visibility and focus, would make sense to me.

I would vote for a multi option button like ctrl+clicking the record button in the transport cycles through record modes.

More like a drop down with toggles similar to how you show/hide UI elements for example in the edit window (inserts, sends, instruments etc).

So they finally added tab to breakpoint but made it on all the time? Or is it tied to Tab to Transient?

Sorry I haven't and probably won't update for a while just trying to understand the feature.

Looks that way; I'm mostly in volume automation view and now - if I want to select the entire clip I'm in to DeClick, for example - I need to toggle to clip view first, then double click instead of being able to double click in whatever view I was in.

I'm sure this =feature= is yet another great addition to that yearly subscription "feed the beast" concept..but how hard is it to allow us to turn it off if we don't want it on all the time ?

It is not on all the time but is tied to Tab to Transient.

Hence my saying if each could toggle, when both were on it would have the current functionality and then some.

But some obviously want tab to transient on but tab to breakpoint off which would present with familiar functionality.

In addition to not being able to double click as before to select the whole clip, that seems like a collateral ouch.
