1. When automating VST parameter, would it be possible to see units of the current VST parameter (as e.g. in Podium’s generic VST effect ui), instead of number between 0 to 1?

I think that’s imposible due to VST 2.4 specifications… sorry (but internal plugins do). Maybe he could use 0.0 to 100.0%.

Ah, ok. But then, how can internal VST ui editor know about correct units? And, I’ve vague feeling, that when I was working with old Cubase, automation curves did appear with real units/ranges, even for 3rd party VSts, but my memory might fault me on this one.

2. When automating Level, would it be possible to have values from -Inf to +12dB (as mixer faders have) instead of -Inf..0 (in other words, allow also amplification, not only attenuation).

The level that you automate isn’t the mixer level, is another one relative to the first one… so as it’s relative it haven’t sense the amplification. If you need amplification do it with the main volume fader and reduce the level of the relative one 😉

I know that it is relative level. and I know that I can increase main fader. Its just that it is incovnenient, if you need to raise volume for a small bit of time; you already have carefully adjusted volume for the rest of the track and you want one small piece louder – current system makes it a bit inconvenient. And I don’t see how the fact that automated volume is relative implies that it cannot go into +dB values 😕
