A little workflow tip. When I started toying around with FL, I used a lot of volume automation by automating the volume slider of the mixer channel where the instrument was routed to, as I learned by watching tutorials on Youtube. This type of automation led me to a lot of problems, due to the fact I couldn't change the volume on mixer for mixing purposes, because the slider would only follow the automation settings and the init settings, so my changes would be reset everytime the automation occurred. The simplest solution for my workflow now is to individually add, when needed, a Fruity Balance on the last slot of the instrument's mixer channel and automate its volume knob. Maybe it's common knowledge, but I hope it helps anyway.

Thanks anticipately for listening!
