EQ Automation Overwriting other EQ values during write/touch phase

Hello. I brought a project in from Premiere Pro and wanted to do some simple high and low shelf automation on tracks to simulate distance to camera. That said, I've come across something that is very peculiar and really can't understand the routing of (I'm primarily a Resolve and Fairlight user), so I'm hoping the community will have some answers.

 

My automation writing for the low shelf goes absolutely fine, and the track automatically goes to Touch mode, great. When I go to put in automation for the high shelf, though, Audition erases all my automation for the low shelf, even though these are separate parameters (and Audition even knows they're separate given I can indiviudalize them in the envelope section).

 

While I know the softwares are different, I'm looking at Fairlight and I can use the same EQ effect to automate these shelves, yet the in house parametric eq in Audition and the Track EQ both erase one shelf's automation when I start working on the other. Does anyone have insight as to why this is the case? and is there a workaround for this behavior other than putting two EQs in the track and having one as a high shelf and the other as a low shelf?

 

 

PC specs just in case;

 

Windows 10 Pro

24 GP GPU RTX 3090

AMD 5090x CPU

64 GB DDR4 RAM

 

Audition is version 23.3.0.55

I think that this is probably a real bug - it does the same thing here. Probably the best thing to do is try the beta version, and if it does it on that as well, then mention it in the beta forum, as the devs look at that regularly.
