How come I can't change the volume in the mix window?

If I do some volume changes to a track in the edit window, how come I can't change the volume in the mix window when I play the song. The volume control just slides back if I drag it up or down.

Because you have some automation written on the track. Change the view from waveform to volume, then either clear all the dots, or highlight the whole track and then change the volume.

Ok, thanks. How do I clear the dots?

[sw rec]

highlight em and hit delete

Hit youtube and watch some videos on using automation in Pro Tools. Once you get your head around it, you'll love it

Or, if you absolutely don't want any automation in your project, you can just open the Automation Window and click on "suspend." But that will disable automation entirely and globally until you reinstate it.

OR

Select absolutely every track in your session for the entire duration of your session. Then from the Edit menu, in the "Clear" section, select "Clear All Automation" and that should remove all the dots from everywhere they might have gotten into.
