Why can't I automate all of a sudden?

Post by ProximoMusic » Mon Oct 05, 2020 3:36 am

I have been able to produce automations just fine until just now- every time I press "a" while selecting the track I want, it plays a note from a completely different track!
Please help!

I searched through that page and didn't find the answer!
Do YOU know how to enable automation when pressing "a" doesn't work?
