Touch automation movements for relative volume?

Just wondering if I can make a "touch" automation moving physically the Logic mixer fader but acting on relative volume....

Actually, you can. When you set automation to R-Touch mode, the volume fader becomes transparent to indicate that you're in the relative automation mode. Moving the fader will record data into the relative automation curve.

Well, you're editing the absolute curve in "Touch" mode. To be able to record automation on the relative curve using the fader, you have to enable the relative mode first so that the automation mode button displays "R-Touch":

I mean that when you move the fader you move always the absolute volume. But there isn’t a way to physically move the fader acting on the relative volume instead. I would like to have also this option. AFAIK now you can only draw the relative volume movements , but not moving them philysically, in real time, with a fader.

What do you mean by "relative volume"? There's one volume control in Logic, which is the volume fader on a track. To automate the volume parameter, you can create two automation curves: absolute and relative. Relative curve offsets the value of absolute curve.
