DP 9 and 10 Cannot read heavy automation well, Proven!

[MIDI Life Crisis]

To avoid these ramps when pasting in from a section of different level one needs to insert extra dots before and after the pasted-in selection (and, BTW, decide how far from the insertion position those dots need to be).

But, but, but... I want it to all work automatically. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO ADD DOTS!

I don't know how I've managed to make a living with DP with it so broken like this...

Even if it does not affect you personally, you can see it not working properly, correct?

I would have to respectfully disagree with this. I think "it is not working in the best way possible for some workflows" would be more accurate. It's working exactly as it was designed to work. DP isn't broken. It's just that this feature needs a better design.

DP automation works by connecting the dots (at least for audio). If the dots are not at the same level then the result is a ramp, as you would expect. To avoid these ramps when pasting in from a section of different level one needs to insert extra dots before and after the pasted-in selection (and, BTW, decide how far from the insertion position those dots need to be). DP doesn't do this automatically. So we need to stop saying DP is not functioning correctly and start asking MOTU to add a feature which automatically inserts the extra dots, preferably as a preference because I'm sure it would screw up someone else's work flow if they simply changed the behavior. JMHO

I can agree with this. It's definitely something that a developer would have to code in to have work differently than it does in DP. Though I would guess that the ramping is pretty much only going to be something people would want or use in sound design.
