I set the automation mode to "write" , use the CTRL+Shift+Application key , and press enter on the desired items e.g volume , pan , mute , and various send envelopes so that a check mark appears next to them. next , I start the song , and perform all desired volume/pan nudging with Alt+Arrows , or modify the desired send envelopes from the I/o dialog accessed with Shift+I. but when listening again to the song , nothing is reflected from my automation recordings , as if it hasn't been recorded at all , although the Edit|undo item says "undo automation record". am I missing something here? thanks a lot for any help Roy. www.soundclick.com/tzackeek __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5990 (20110327) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
