Why are parameter values initialized when using automation?

 

I put the effects (compressor, EQ, etc.) on the effect window, adjust the parameters, and switch to automation (Touch, Latch, Write) to play. Then the parameter values are initialized.
I can't solve the problem. Help.

 For a start, Automation doesn't have a 'play' function, it has a 'read' function, and that's exactly what it does. If you put an effect into the effects rack and set any parameter to an initial value, that is 'read' and that's the starting position for the effect. If you modify an effect whilst in one of the writing modes, the effect on the envelope is written when you hit the stop button. If you are complaining about that, then I'm afraid you're out of luck; it's always been like this. Is this what you are saying? If it is, then 'initialised' isn't the term to use, as that only refers to a starting position, as I noted above..

 

So could you clarify exactly what you mean, please?

I am also having similar issues to Peace Eng. When editing multi-track, I leave tracks in READ mode while getting my EQ, Dynamics etc set. Once set, I will start at the beigning of the song, set each track to WRITE and mix the song. Everything works at this point. Once mixed, I save. If I close the program and reopen all of my dynamics are reset to defult '0' BUT my EQ holds. I have tried two systems, running newest version of Audition. Is this a known issue? Makes editing have to be done in one sitting or else you are starting at scratch with ALL dynamics.


I've just tried it here, and it works perfectly as it should. Are you saying that if you record automation, and can see the envelopes when you save the session, that when you re-open it, they are all flat lines except the EQ? Under no circumstances can I reproduce that on the current version.
