Cannot undo manual pitch control keyframe adjustment

When performing manual pitch correction, if I just adjusted a pitch key frame then press ctrl-Z (undo), it does not undo the adjustment to the key frame. Rather, it undoes the action before I selected "manual pitch correction (process..)"

 

There are two issues here:

(1) unable to undo adjustments to pitch keyframes

(2) able to undo the actions outside of the pitch correction process

 

This feels counter intuitive and could cause confusion and loss of edit.

 

I propose during the "manual pitch correction (process..)", the undo action should undo keyframes adjustments or other actions since "manual pitch correction (process..) was clicked. And if there is no more keyframe adjustment to undo, it should do nothing and beep or display a message "nothing to undo". If the user wants to undo the action before he click "manual pitch correction (process..)", he would have to cancel out of the pitch correction process and click undo.

You have to bear in mind what actually happens when you use a process-based effect in Waveform view, and how undos work. Audition doesn't actually track every single keystroke - what it does is to create an 'undo' temp file for an action that's actually been carried out to the audio. So it's not the same as Multitrack, where nearly everything is virtual, and the only thing you can track is the keystrokes.

 

To have Waveform view work like that would take a complete rewrite of the software, and I think that's rather unlikely to happen. To achieve this, effectively you'd need two different undo mechanisms.
