When you click on an automation point you can drag it up or down and the tool tip shows you the changing value. Similarly when you move events it shows you the position in bars/beats.
What I have always wanted in an option showing the -change- rather than the absolute value… as it currently does for moving bars/beats
So for automation points, it should show the amount you are moving up or down. eg. +2.5db
Get it? That would be a LOT more valuable to me most times than seeing the -absolute- value as it now does.
But since this is a Non-Sexy Feature Request (NSFR), I’ll be dead when it happens. That’ll show 'em.
First you hover to see static values (Timeline position, type, value); as soon as you click and begin to move/drag the node, the ToolTip now displays the new value AND the +/- change value in brackets.
+1 Wow I requested this years ago. You all summed it up nicely. I’m a professional engineer/mixer and I spend hours a day clicking and scrolling. This a another of many BASIC features that Cubase/Nuendo fails on. Steinberg, please add this, pretty please!
This should have been implemented when the new automation handling was introduced in CB 9.5. Still no values when first using the range tool to create automatic automation points.
Edit: Just noticed this is in the CB 9 section of the Forum.
