Thank you so much man. I watched this video for one reason and that was to learn how to fix the white-automation-lines issue and not only do I now know how, I also learned about the multi-automation view.

You're a life saver.

Thanks a lot for the condensed information!
One question: Do the parameters recorded through a macro stay together or can you “detach” them each from Macro 1 (or whatever) after recording?
