While I'm recording midi cc automation data, I notice that the cc sample rate is very high. It captures a lot of detail in the performance.
But after I stop recording, The midi cc data gets 'down sampled', and has replaced a lot of the data with straight lines. It's like an approximation of the original data.
See this image for an example. I started recording, did the first part, stopped and started again, then did the second part. I took the photo while the recording was still running.
Thus the left is after stopping recording and the right is before stopping recording.Notice how the 'before' on the right is a lot denser with points. That's why it looks whiter.
Then the 'after' on the left shows the points being interpolated, and straight lines being put instead.
I assume it is doing this because the original cc data is very dense, and would be a lot to store. I think the down sampling makes sense most of the time, since the approximation it gives is good enough.
However, for certain types of automation data, the down sampling can significantly impact the sound. In those cases, when you play the sound back after recording, it will sound noticeably different than it did while performing it. One such example is when automating dj-scratch like sounds.
It would be very useful if this down sampling could be turned off or controlled sometimes. Are there any settings for doing this in mixcraft?
Something like the ability to turn off the down sampling ("use original midi cc rate") or maybe the ability to set how strongly it's applied ("record midi cc data at X samples per second").
