I'm going nuts trying to refine my automation.

If I try to draw automation anywhere NEAR existing automation I get a hand cursor (e.g. it's trying to be smart and let me drag the existing data). I don't want this, I just want to overwrite what's there but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that ... unless I do it twice (paint somewhere very far then repaint where I wanted it).

Is there some sort of better way to do this that I'm not seeing?

I assume you're using the temporary Paint Tool (Ctrl/Cmd). Try to change to the Paint Tool (press 3), this behavior shouldn't occur there.

That's what I thought too. I did exactly that and was surprised that that I still couldn't 'overwrite' existing automation.

Maybe here's a better way to do it, using VCAs

Works as expected here. You must have done something wrong.

VCA is a useful concept but certainly not the solution if you want to finetune CC1 (Modulation) instrument automation.

Turns out the problem was me. I was clicking the paint tool in the arranger window, not the edit window.

Thanks everyone.

Okay, so you were still using the Arrow Tool in the editor. That explains the behavior.

Thanks for letting us know what went wrong.
