Recording knob and slider movements from an external synth in a good way

Question

How do I record the knob and fader movements made on an external synth into Logic in a good way?
I have managed to do it but Logic writes a new region over the top of the region containing my midi notes. When I stop recording the new region which contains the CC data disappears behind the region containing the midi notes.
On top of this, once I've moved the regions around so I can select the one containing the CC data I can't see anything for it in the Hyper editor (though I know the changes have been recorded as it plays back.)
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

I often make a duplicate of my Midi track/Software Instrument track (assigned to the same Audio object - standard KC for this is shift+Return) beneath the original track and then record fader and knob movements on the duplicated track.
In the Piano Roll->view->Hyper Editor select Modulation/Pitch bend or "Other" and choose a Midi Controller number frome the menue which opens, the selected Controller (e.g.#21) will be displayed underneath the Piano Roll and you can edit it with your pointer/pencil/Eraser tool.
