Perhaps I'm being stupid here
Is there a way to choose that automation is recorded/overdubbed into a clip?
I know you can draw it in, and record automation into the arrange, but I haven't figuerd out how to do it into clips yet...
Any help much appreciated

In arrange view, yes. hit record, and turn knobs.
in session view, no.
You can copy and paste from arrange view to session view, tho.
also, see:

Nice one, thanks. Shame it can't be done, though I imagine there's a reason. For example I'm able to record pitch bend and channel pressure to a clip, it's only the automation I'm currently unable to record. Must have something to do with the way Live handles automated parameters. Will have to add this to the features request list.

good idea, never tried it, but maybe you could copy it from the arrange window
