So I have a whole bunch of clips set up in the arrangement view. I've dropped an EQ8 onto my bassline. I have armed the red "record" button on the bassline track. I hit the spacebar to play the track and move the little buttons around on the EQ8, however the automation is not recording. I'm not getting the little red box in the top left corner indicating that the clip is now automated.

I've read the manual, I'm following the instructions, and now I'm just stumped as to why the automation isn't saving.

Any suggestions?

The track doesn't need to be armed. It's the record button up top which is important here.
