Re: Zipper Noise, an example



Per,

  I am not misinformed, my friend.

Your test proves that the automation data is interpolated. Nothing else.

Logic has a preference setting for the automation interpolation. The 
default is something like 50ms

I found that towards the end of a mix I was getting an "Error while 
synching Audio and Midi" warning  even though I was using NO midi.

Apple officially suggested that to fix the "Error while synching 
Audio and Midi"
  you need to turn off the "Sample accurate automation".

Why?

Because Logic automation is MIDI data.

So says Apple.

In fact the Mackie Logic control sends note on and note off data for 
the switches, and the faders are CC.
