Here is an example of a problem with auto mation lanes. I want to automate the frequency of a device. Particulatrly in the lower registers a small change in frequency results in a big perceived change but when looking at the automation lane it is difficult to see what is going on because the change is so small relative to the range of the lane.
Suggested solution: allow automation lanes to be re-sized so that automation curves can be more clearly seen when required.
you can already do this since like V1 i think. just select the bottom of the automation lane at far left and click and drag. wait for the cursor to become a little horizontal line with two arrows
