Love the take lanes and comping functions in Live 11.
Sometimes I want to record a new take after I've already added some automation. For instance, automating the gain on a utility plugin.
No worries mate, When I record directly over the previous take, my automation stays in place just like how I want it
But sometimes I like to create a new take lane and manually move the previous take to a new take lane before I record. I realize that this is less efficient, but I like to visually organize my takes ahead of time and we're all entitled to a few idiosyncratic workflow techniques, whatever.
But if I do this, The automation on the track disappears, and the only way to then record with the automation I've already created is to copy it before I create a new take lane and paste it on the new lane.
Is there another way to link the automation to the track, or stop the creation of a new take lane from removing my automation?

Re: Live 11 - keeping automation for new takes
I'm looking for similar options.
Take lanes for audio are great, but the different automation performances that go with the audio are just as important to me. Anyone have suggestions on how to do multiple "takes" and keep the automation for each, then pick my favorite? ("automation comping?")
I have typically perform with 12 tracks at a time (volumes, sends, device effects, etc).
Any thoughts are appreciated.

disarm automation arm button, then you can record audio or midi without affection automation lanes.
And be sure clicking automation lock button to activate it
