Automation mutes track

[jonathan boose]

I went to automate an audio track and doing so caused the audio of that track to cut out. That never used to happen.

I tried checking out Cakewalk documentation but that relies on illustrations and the pictures won't open (using MS Edge browser).

Maybe I got sucker punched by an unnecessary and unwanted change in CbB?

When I went into automation, it defaulted to unity, which I believe it didn't used to. 

I wanted to adjust it in the -26dB range.

I thought my ears and or monitors might be damaged with a signal that was plenty loud at -26dB suddenly being 0dB so I manually lowered the fader before  the guitar came in to about -26. There was no apparent audio. 

Then I tried playing it back without moving the fader to see what would happen.

Now the fader automatically defaulted to 0 dB and the signal sounds like, and has to be, -26dB.

 

This is confusing, counterintuitive, and just has to be wrong.
