Red "banned" line through automation write button.

Been using automation on busses, when for no apparent reason (other than that I inadvertently did  something stupid) a red diagonal line appeared and I can't. well, write. Did a fair amount of reading in the manual and found no reference to this. Suggestions?

The "W" button in the control bar is not actually a toggle button. It doesn't have a mode to keep me from turning on write enables for various tracks. I can do that at any time. This all makes better sense if I consider the button in the control bar as simply a reset button that cancels all write enables that are currently turned on. It is a shortcut to let me cancel all write enables with one click instead of having to click the "W" button in each track individually.

Yes, you are right- no toggle, it just cancel all write enables. My mistake.

I seem to have been well informed. Everything worked as described above. Except for one thing. The volume doesn't decrease. I bounced the track, repeated the steps on the audio track, got the envelope, volume doesn't change. ????

If you want to know more, look up the Mix Module and Automation in the documentation or Reference Guide.

Really, faster than asking here and then waiting for a response.
