live automation?!?

im using ableton live 5..

i want to fade out some audio im recording "on the fly" that i'll be looping, however the automation doesnt respond if its pre drawn in

as soon as you start recording the red active line i have pre drawn in the envelope goes a brown colour and the red square next to the mixer and track volume "turns off", as a result bypasses the automation

can i fix this?

Simply by clicking the "back to arrangement" button in the transport. It's right between the "ovr" and the global quantize. If it's red, and your automations brown, click the button and your automation will turn red, enabling it for playback. It had me for a loop (punny huh?) in the beginning too..

only problem is that i now have to click it for every loop... a tad inconvenient

oh and the loop stops

Global Record Button - on
and track record button - off
for recording your automation.
