I cannot add new automated volume points in Logic Pro tracks, when I click on the line, no points are added

All the other DAWS I have used allow you to add as many automation points as you want, whether on the main track or via an automation track. Very occasionally I can click on the automation line and it will add a point but mostly I just get a vertical line showing at the volume automation point at the start of the track when I click and nothing else happens. If it makes any difference, the automation line changes from white to yellow. All my current projects exhibit this behaviour.


I haven't been using Logic Pro long, so it's possible this is a newbie error. I have gone through everything suggested by Apple short of reinstallation and am hoping not to have to do that if at all possible.


Logic Pro 10.8.1

MacBook Air M1

Sonoma 14.2.1

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.2

Thanks so much for the link, it was in the email notification I got :)


It was very good but didn't answer my problem, after I added one point, I found I could not add any more points. However, I found that if I double-clicked, I could add as many points as I wanted by double-clicking each time. Is it supposed to work with a double-click? I was expecting it to only need a single click.

It is working properly. When you click on the line it adds a point and the line stays horizontal until you add a second point a little after. The first point is the the start of the automation and the second point is where you want your automation to end. Lets say you wanted the volume to go down from where it was. When you click on the second point you can lower it to the desired volume. You can click on the line a little later to add another point and raise the volume back up.
