Default Request, post 5.50 - FR for automation items, not automation containers (DONE)





this is a bummer for multiple reasons, foremost among them is that it
doesn't solve the issue of envelopes stealing one's ability to control
FX parameters by midi cc. from the beginning, the attractive idea behind
automation envelopes was that envelopes would be DISABLED while not contained
within an item, leaving the parameter able to be controlled by a midi CC
that was learned to the parameter. currently, as soon as you enable an
envelope, any learns that you have set up are overriden. this absolutely sucks
for live performance.

it's also a visual nightmare for the instances where you're applying a
track volume fadeout but you only need the envelope to be active/visible
at the start/end of the project. item envelopes are not an adequate solution
to this problem because of slicing etc, this isn't 90s, and items get cut
up a LOT.

this issue was raised, seconded, thirded, and discussed multiple times in
the pre-release forum, so here i am again. i'm sure that this is going to
be an issue for many people who expected one thing from these "Automation
items" and got something else -- automation containers, which are very well
implemented and useful in their own right.

however, these do not fulfill the request as discussed in the pre-release thread.
