Is there a way to map a 'section' of automation to keyboard shortcut or hardware?

This question would also apply to tempo.

As long as there are two points, you can hover your mouse over the area in between and you get a cursor that allows you to raise/lower the section.

If you have a track that has many of these points (or sections) and want to adjust the value of each section, it is very time consuming as you have to move your mouse slowly and let Studio Pro catch on to what you intend to do. I'm wondering if there's a quicker way to edit these values.

Thx!

That's tough for actions that so heavily rely on cursor positioning. But I wonder, as it depends on case in hand, If it wouldn't be quicker doing freehand redrawing with one of the other pencil tool options (line and parabola in particular).

Interesting, I'll check that approach out. Thanks.

I agree with switch. Its like perscribing an automation for steering into a turn. Well, every turn is going to have its own radius, bank, variation. Maybe a bad example, but in just considering the variations of automation (and their extreme sensitivity), I cant imagine where "raise/lower the section" has any real significance. That said, I'm curiously thinking if there were some sort of pen tool (ala Adobe Illustrator) where arcs could be used as a tool for setting up smooth raddii. Dunno. Switchback nailed it in that these sort of actions rely on cursor positioning.

If I'm being honest (and I hope I always come across that way), the best method for true tactile and real-time automation is mapping a knob or fader to control automation. Be that volume, or some MIDI cc.

One fun thing to try is draw automation, and use the transform tool to expand, shrink or doodle with existing automation. It may pay off, and be quite flexible.
