Implemented comprehensive automation recording system for volume, pan, and effect parameters:
- Added automation recording modes:
- Write: Records continuously during playback when values change
- Touch: Records only while control is being touched/moved
- Latch: Records from first touch until playback stops
- Implemented value change detection (0.001 threshold) to prevent infinite loops
- Fixed React setState-in-render errors by:
- Using queueMicrotask() to defer state updates
- Moving lane creation logic to useEffect
- Properly memoizing touch handlers with useMemo
- Added proper value ranges for effect parameters:
- Frequency: 20-20000 Hz
- Q: 0.1-20
- Gain: -40-40 dB
- Enhanced automation lane auto-creation with parameter-specific ranges
- Added touch callbacks to all parameter controls (volume, pan, effects)
- Implemented throttling (100ms) to avoid excessive automation points
Technical improvements:
- Used tracksRef and onRecordAutomationRef to ensure latest values in animation loops
- Added proper cleanup on playback stop
- Optimized recording to only trigger when values actually change

Major improvements:
- Fixed multi-file import (FileList to Array conversion)
- Auto-select first track when adding to empty project
- Global effects panel folding state (independent of track selection)
- Effects panel collapsed/disabled when no track selected
- Effect device expansion state persisted per-device
- Effect browser with searchable descriptions
Visual refinements:
- Removed center dot from pan knob for cleaner look
- Simplified fader: removed volume fill overlay, dynamic level meter visible through semi-transparent handle
- Level meter capped at fader position (realistic mixer behavior)
- Solid background instead of gradient for fader track
- Subtle volume overlay up to fader handle
- Fixed track control width flickering (consistent 4px border)
- Effect devices: removed shadows/rounded corners for flatter DAW-style look, added consistent border-radius
- Added border between track control and waveform area

- Created EffectDevice component with expand/collapse state
- Each device shows name, type, enabled/disabled toggle, and remove button
- When expanded, devices show parameter details
- Replaced vertical effect list with horizontal scrolling rack
- Effects display in 192px wide cards with visual feedback
- Power button toggles effect enabled/disabled state
- Parameters display shown when expanded (controls coming soon)
This matches the Ableton Live/Bitwig workflow where effects are
arranged horizontally with collapsible UI for each device.
