If you click on the automation 'on' button, the automation data moves from the track to the lane(s). Easy

I'm not sure if there is a current thread discussing this topic so I am starting this one. When in PRV I add CC1 modulation so that I can draw in data with the pencil tool instead of using the mod wheel because I'm not a one handed player.




One way around this is to record your note data, then go back in and just record your mod wheel movements.
Make sure Sound on Sound is checked in Preferences > Project > Record > Recording Mode

I know about this method just feel like I would have more control drawing it in.

I got a Tec breath and bite controller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQpSDph_c4k for Christmas from my wife. It's made in Sweden which is also my wife's country of origin. You can control up to 4 parameters at a time. I've tried it and like the fact that you can modulate pitch, volume, vibrato, etc. while playing as opposed to drawing in a CC, listening to it, and then editing it for taste.

It looks pretty cool!

Go View > Display and check or uncheck "Display Ghosted Data."


I think I tried that and it made everything disappear. I want to be able to see the chords and notes but not the velocity and automation curves.



If the Edit Filter is set to Clips and you uncheck  "Display Ghosted Data," you will see notes but no velocity or automation curves.
 
If the Edit Filter is set to Notes and you uncheck  "Display Ghosted Data," you will see notes but no automation curves. Velocity will still be visible.
 
You know about "Convert MIDI Controllers to Envelopes," yes?

Do tell.

I use the mod wheel to record whatever events I'm controlling, THEN go in and hand edit if/when necessary.
