Automation - need to set "Mixer - Track Volume" as default

Post by Jimi_Able » Mon May 03, 2021 7:13 pm

Hi everyone. Is there any way to set it up so that when you click the automation mode to "on" in the arrangement view, the little drop-down menus in the audio tracks would default to "Mixer" and "Track Volume"?

I find it a constant annoyance that whenever automation mode is engaged, these mini-menus always default to something else (like "None") or if you do click on Mixer, it always defaults to "Speaker On" (which I rarely use) instead of "Track Volume". Furthermore, it always seems to change back to "Speaker On" as I click from one track to another, even after having set it the way I want. I've looked in preferences but there doesn't seem to be any way to change these defaults, unless I'm wrong.

I tried "Save as Default Audio Track" with the desired drop down menu choices selected but that doesn't work either. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!
