Have you tried Command clicking on the Track names? You may have accidentally suspended the automation.

Hi,
It sounds like you may have disabled automation on some tracks. In the edit window make sure the track’s display is set to volume not waveform. Try command clicking on the grayed out field that says volume that should enable automation again.
Thanks,

Hi. That was was the first obvious thing to check. I was also setting the automation memory to it's highest. None of the things worked.
I was inserting 4 bars in a song, cutting and pasting and so on. Some tracks with automation and some without. Suddenly the master and some other tracks stopped reading the automation, even though auto read was activated. (and the tracks was offcourse activated)
I've redone my work (a bit slower ) and everything is working fine now. I've been desperatly trying to reproduce the error, so we can find out what was going on, but now I can't get the darn thing NOT to work.
Thanks for the help anyway!!!

Best regards, Tubz

Hi,

I know this is years later. But I think it will be a great fact if it happens again. I'm running pro tools 2018 on PC. I just got the same error. I was toggling automation on and of with ctrl+click over the automation and somehow I got the same error on one of my tracks. It's a pro tools bug that hasn't been solved yet. The volume automation kept gray and was like off. I tried duplicating the track but the same error was duplicated on the track.

Work Around:
- Open a new track.
- The track with the problem, put in waveform under the track's name, instead of on the volume automation.
- Copy the waveform and paste it into the new track. Automations are copied, but the problem with the automation is solved, in the new track it's not grayed for ever.
- Copy any inserts and/or sends you had on the track with the automation problem.
Done.

Another year later and it's happened to me (PT 2019.10). Somehow I had suspended automation. I went to WINDOW>AUTOMATION and unsuspended everything. Who knows what I clicked to suspend everything.
