VST Automation on Midi tracks

[neilried]

Sorry, but i dont quite understand what your problem is here?? You say you cant automate fx on midi tracks running VST's? But you can on audio tracks??? Im really confused

I get confussed with my terminology sometimes ;o)...

In acid you can apply fx to audio (Wav, MP3 etc) or Midi, when it comes to automation you have to click on the FX automation button select the parameter you wish to automate then draw it over the track in the sequencer.

With Audio (as in Wav files) this works fine

When you try it on a Midi track that controls a VST, the FX automation button disappears from the midi track but there is one on the VST channel on the mixer, you click on it, it allows you to select the parameter you want to automate but you cannot draw the automation onto a midi track as you do with audio, Acid simply does not insert the automation line..

Dunno if that makes it any clearer!?!?!
