Thanks, Guys for the replies. This is a midi track that I recorded myself, not an import. There were a couple of midi events in the event view, I deleted them, but the same behavior persists. I recorded another track, and it does the same thing. I would really like to be able to disable automation while I'm adding parts to a song, but I guess I can work around this problem. Just seems that there ought to be a way to remove automation in a program this sophisticated, but the blue line is on every track. Thanks again, Milt.
