I've got a MIDI track recorded, did some volume rides and now want to bend the notes. But every time I record it wipes out the volume ride. Doesn't matter if:

* The volume automation does not appear (i.e. Fades/Device Chooser is set to none)
* The Lock Envelopes button is checked (which logically SHOULD protect ALL automation envelopes)

This is a ridiculously lame bug! So tired of having to re-set all of these volume rides!

ABLETON -- THE LOCK ENVELOPE BUTTON should protect everything, or maybe there needs to be a separate button for protecting envelopes while recording? Or maybe, just maybe OVR should NEVER erase anything!

Hi,

Make sure when you are recording your automation that the track record arm button is not selected. This will protect your previously recorded automation.

I do agree with you however that the automation system could do with a rethink. Especially as the above does not work when recording midi cc data as opposed to remote automation data. In this case each line of automation has to sit on a new midi track to avoid deleting it.

Thanks
