When comparing different approaches, also take into account the advantages of AIs, for example:
Pooling: once you have duplicated your automation, if you ever need to change some shapes, you don't need to do the duplication again.
Recover points: recover original automation shape by simply expanding the AI.
Saving/loading: Save your favorite automation shapes, then you can re-insert them without having to do any area selecting and copying!
I find AIs to be quick, powerful and versatile.
The major disadvantage is the large number of incomplete features and bugs...

i am aware of those advantages! but i think you are not aware of the advantages of area selection.
- Both are versátil and useful for different things
- Ai's are to be used if useful, when we want a container to be reused and grahically there and makes sense (like pooling) otheriwize it clusters the project and not fast and very limited with a lot of hassles.
- Area selection is just to copy extremely fast and accurate anything to anywhere (i need no pool, no container, nothing, just copy and no visual cluster of project for most of the automations, with the advantage that it works with Items too)
---------
Ai's in my opinion should simply be finalised (small incoherences) - keep it simple
and with Area selection we could do everything, including a healthy use of AI's

i am glad you understand. I don't use expression maps too. It doesn't mean they are not useful for many types of users.
And since in this case, people are suggesting doing everything with AI, to workaround the lack of area selection. This will fill AI with ambigous interpretation features, complex workflow and will never suppress the need of area selection.
They will transform a good and very useful feature (AI) into an inconvenient and too complex feature IMO. Its just "#%$%/%&(Q$QW#&$%/$&WRR##%"#$ - confusion.

Probably. I havent even used AI yet and I dont feel im missing anything. Im even right click draging points because i did not have time to learn AI yet.

this makes your opinion on this topic not much qualified, don't you think? because you can't talk of what you don't know or use or need. I would never go on a topic about expression maps trying to discuss expression maps because it's something i am not into.
I don't want to sound rude! but i don't know other way of saying.

This is indeed a problem. I had to get used to gluing regularly (in case I am using only AIs) or deleting while preserving points (in case using regular automation).
In earlier versions, there was an option to NOT remove points from underlying envelope when creating automation items. This was much better for simple copying, since you could 1) create multiple AIs with one click, 2) move them while leaving the original envelope unaltered, 3) delete them with another click -- and no debris would remain. Nowadays, the user has to go back to the original AIs, select them and remove them:

You can do the same thing by copying instead of moving in step 2. There are so many options in REAPER, and it's so difficult to remove any...

AI are beautiful, but not to depend on them in order to work with Envelope points (and Item) duplications.
Ai should stay simple. Used Occasionally and take the most of it when useful (pooling, shapes, save, etc). No cluster of project with more "items" (squares), just because we are forced to do so. For me, This is the difference between elegant or a nigh mare feature.

point is that if I don't even feel like something is missing to EVEN right click dragging it means that its not the end of the world if this feature is not perfect and if area selection is not yet implemented. Thats all there was to the point I'm not arguing about anything just saying how I am not missing area selection from Cubase, and not using AI at all. But I understand that its useless to talk of stuff we dont know

Yeah I know, but honestly these last months I keep switching between Cubase pro 9.5 and Reaper. To be honest even if I used Cubase for the last 12 years and all my muscle memory and habits is built around it.. also even if it cost me more than 1000$ over the years, I still can't prefer it to Reaper. The more I learn Reaper and customize it the more I can't go back to Cubase. So I trust them that they will choose the best option to help with editing enveloppes, either with area selection or improved AI

You were talking about a good versus bad DAW relating to these kind of features. .and your signature says you are about to quit Reaper. Im sharing my thoughts on those two things.
Anyways have a good night its useless to talk

My signature as nothing to do. It's an expression just like your signature. But thanks.
And sorry i am not talking about anything like "a good versus bad DAW".
The topic: REAPER Pre-Release Discussion- Automation item pre-release thread
And i am discussing Automation Items! it's simple. Thanks tho.

There are more:
1 - much slower, much less flexible and more number of steps
2 - does not work with items
3 - clutters project visually and workflow
4 - ambiguous meanings/ concepts and many more spaghetti actions
Which wouldn't happen if AI's where used solely for the uses you mentioned:
- Pooling: once you have duplicated your automation
- Recover points: recover original automation shape by simply expanding the AI.
- Saving/loading: Save your favourite automation shapes
and if Area selection could do it's job for duplicating anything to anywhere.

Also Area selection has the benefit of adding actions/possibilities like:
- Area selection -> Insert AIs
- Area selection -> Duplicate
- Area selection -> Duplicate pooled (AI + MI)
- Area selection -> Select contained items (AI + MI)
- Area selection -> Select exclusively contained items (AI + MI)
- Area selection -> Glue (AI + MI)
- Area selection -> Group
- Area selection -> Delete
and manny more ..

Area selection has zero benefits as it doesn't exist!
Do you really think it's productive to ad nauseam post about area selection?
Don't get me wrong I would like AS too, but...

i think it's productive to add knowledge and perspective to AI. Because in the long term AI and Area selection should be thought together and complementing each other.

good timing ...! : | why are you trying to cut my speak? i am not requesting anything! i am simply giving AI perspective that maybe many users and even Devs might not have.

AIs are no longer a prerelease issue and have not been for months.
any discussion being held here would be better organized if it was in individual posts about specific issues, rather than a lot of crosstalk.
i'm not cutting off your speech, nor do i have the authority/power to do so. if anything, i'm suggesting a better megaphone.

information is here! it is not lost. Personally i don't have more to say about Area Selection and AI relation - i said what i thought i had to say! And Bugs and related FR are here. I think it's fine thread! but If you would like to discuss/help/organize anything outside, just say or create the topics : )

My opinion, for Moderators here:
- Plz Make this thread obsolete (close it) cause , indeed, AI's are not anymore in pre-release.
- Plz Make a sub sticky for AI's bugs & oddities, under the Bugs Forum.
- Plz Make a substicky for AI FR's, under FR Forum.
I think this way, the whole AI debate will be more ordered and transparant.

This behaviour is problematic .
Please devs, is it possible to add an option to set the time of automation data transition between envelope and AI edges ?
To avoid impacting on AI, at the start of AI, transition should start before the AI, and at the end of AI after the AI.
Or delete this transition time ?
It happens when an AI edge is not connected to envelope.

If I'm reading the time correctly, at 120bpm the transition from AI value to envelope value (on both sides) is approx 12ms. When is this transition actually noticeable? MIDI stuff?

It can be very noticable...
Try with a low pass filter on audio or midi item (which plays synth or hit-hat)...

My observations/requests
If you disable loop and extend right edge, the extended section 1) still looks a loop (but isn't) and 2) is uneditable.
Please implement CTRL+drag to copy to another track.
We can't add an AI to an existing pool?
In properties, if you change the Name to the same as another group, the name updates, then when you click on the AI, the name is changed back.
Item grouping doesn't work for AIs.
Changing an automation point in an AI by using text entry (Set envelope point value dialogbox) needs to refresh pooled items.
AIs cover the bottom row of text* for underlying audio/MIDI items. Should be moved up when AI overlaps OR permanently move the bottom horizontal bar of an AI up so it doesn't cover that. (*things like item FX names, velocity multiplier for MIDI items)
Sometimes loading a saved AI creates an unpooled copy. (possibly due to changes to the AI after it was saved??))

Ya, disabling loop leaves loopmark and I can't draw points, But if I resize the AI after disabling loop the AI gets redrawn and I can draw points again.

This issue should be fixed quickly. When an issue can changes the sound in an unexpected way, I think it's very problematic.
Far more than an UI classic issue.

With 0.1 ms, transition between vertical points inside envelope is fare better (less loudly) than the transition between envelope and AI. Why you don't use the same time transition between envelope and AI ?
You can listen this inside this video :
https://youtu.be/ATDsTlqGr4I
Or why not to add a "transition time for Ai and envelope" option inside "Envelope Dispay" exaclty like "Transition time for automatically created envelope edge points" ?
Or why not to modify "Transition time for automatically created envelope edge points" to "Transition time for automatically created envelope edge points and envelope/AI" ?
When we use lots of AI, this long time transition becomes a real pain for me. I don't like to insist but for me it's the worst issue I have never met on Reaper.

I was listening to my past songs, done before using reaper! and i am quite shocked! to be honest altho i like more reaper for several reasons i clearly ear differences for worst. Seems I lost skills and sounds much less interesting since i am in reaper ... sucks! I feel sad! Area selection is too much good / essencial to be without

It's not ridiculous .. i know me more then you! i didn't say mixing skills i said "seems I lost skills and sounds much less interesting since i am in reaper".
