Just wanted to add, for 7:00 you can set "Don't initalize controls automatically" in General Settings > Advanced, so you can avoid that issue altogether.

@jiku4041 4 жыл бұрын

7:00 to 8:05 in the latest FL versions you can just right click on the fader and uncheck "Init song with this position" I think that is a bit easier

@@inthemix the thing I said though is a little bit different if you still want the parameters to initialize when playing the song, which I personally prefer, you can just uncheck "Init song with this position" in the settings of the fader or whatever you have automated after deleting the automation clip I'm sorry if that information was unnecessary

Everyone even people who aren’t beginners have ideas in their heads and then they turn completely different when they try to put them into the daw. I’d guess that it’s pretty rare anyone gets their idea into the daw perfectly. They probably end up with some semblance of the idea and it turns into something else completely as you use the idea in your head to spark a new idea.

I wouldn’t expect to completely overcome this. Rather just use it to your advantage to generate new ideas.
