<strong>Thinning factor</strong> ranges from 0 to 1000 with larger

values storing fewer automation points. Thinning is like lossy
|

|
|
audio compression, removing data that is less likely to be noticed,
|
||
|
|
although the more you remove the more noticable the loss is. The
|
||
|
|
advantage to thinning is it reduces CPU requirements.

the higher the CPU requirements.
