If I'm doing similar automation, I usually select Slip Mode and write the first automation breakpoint a little before I want the action...

    Does anybody edit drums without click/grid?

    Autotune Bass

Try attenuating the higher frequencies using shelfing or using a low pass filter. Because lossy compression...

    Bass doesn't seem to be there...

    Listen to the song "Bleeder" on the album Violence by Nothingface. Towards the end of the intro there's a break where you can clearly hear the bass. Upon further inspection the tone is completely absent of approx. 500Hz and surrounding frequencies.
