Everytime I open Live, Automap opens, and it seems like Automap and Live fight over who gets to control the Launchpad?

It will blink all red, which I assume is automap, then it blinks to my session, then back to all red, and it just fights with one another and I can't really use either. What's up with that? Can I tell automap not to start when I launch Live?

Maybe its happening when the Launchpad is plugged in, I'm not sure..

automap is always running on the machine and when it detects that you open something that is automapable (that you previously enabled on the automap programs) such as a synth, plugin or effect, it will open the automap screen. Just hide it with the down arrow button on the launchpad.

OK so down arrrow will stop the blinking? Thanks a lot for the quick response. Prolly could have done a little more looking around instead of a new thread but if someone want's to make it their own go right ahead.
