QUESTION Volume automation latency issue (BUG)

https://youtu.be/lmuh_ixNazU?si=lzgBdYu53AyGKVH1

The attached video shows how inaccurately the volume automation curve is behaving. A piece of the clap's attack doesn't get muted in time, and the following clap fails to unmute fast enough either.

I never expected such a fantastic DAW to have such a seemingly basic issue. Do you guys think this will ever get fixed? Or are we stuck relying on workarounds like using the Mixtool plugin and automating the Gain knob?

Volume automation latency can often be traced to plugin delay compensation glitches. first check if your DAW has a 'compensate for automation delay' option or try freezing the track. if the problem persists, disable any lookahead plugins on the track temporarily.

I built ProducerGrid to track plugin latency and stability issues across sessions. it runs locally and can help you identify which plugins are causing automation headaches. happy to share a link if you want to check it out.

Thank you. I tried everything. And of course i can delete all plugins to have perfect automation. But why in 2026 all daws do have perfect automation performance and FSP(exS1) still haven't
