Automation won't clear on some tracks
Pro Tools 10.3.2 - I have a few tracks that I can't remove automation from. I've tried both selecting the Volume view, and pan view, selecting from right to left and deleting, and also "edit/clear special/all automation", and these tracks still go right back to where they were when making a volume or pan change.
I found a workaround to be duplicating the track, and deselecting "automation", but I've got this in 9 songs. - That's a pain, not to mention the extra size being added to each song from duplicating tracks. These particular tracks were imported for each song from a template. I've even tried selecting All (in Groups), selecting 20 min worth back to 0, and doing both of the above. Why does any automation at all remain after clearing special/ all automation - isn't that the point of that function?

Re: Automation won't clear on some tracks
I've even tried opening all playlists and selecting all, to be sure there wasn't any automation on a play listed region. Still doesn't remove the automation.

Re: Automation won't clear on some tracks
This may be a long shot but I have always believed that the clear special commands have only ever removed automation where there are audio files. Invariably if I import track information from another session that has automation and I try to clear it, it won't clear any more than where the audio files are in the time line in the current session. When I zoom out on the session there is usually automation further up the timeline that is left untouched by the clear command.
I have found this in any version PT I have used.

Re: Automation won't clear on some tracks
I've also had an issue with some tracks that I'll manually try to clear volume automation on (a track imported from a template with NO automation), yet as soon as I hit play, the volume jumps up to where it was. This was trying both select and delete, and using the clear special options.
Anyone seen this and have a workaround?
