It sounds like you're changing the value to some other value and then
back to where you really want it to be. This is exactly the very
annoying experience I've had sometimes when recording automation on
knobs that use circular control... some unwanted intermediate values
are recorded because I had to move the mouse around some to get the
value where I wanted it. With a linear control, you generally know the
value won't change on the first click, only when you start moving.
Hi Chris
Good points re automation recording. For use as in automation
recording, where "accidental transient" settings are bad, you are right
that a "circular control" knob has some warts (GRIN).
But in many uses, "changing the value to some other value and then back
to where you really want it to be" is exactly what typically takes
place, when the user is "hunting" for the best setting by listening or
watching the screen for some "optimum"? In that regard, the "hunting"
process is much the same regardless of whether the control is a knob,
slider, whatever?
