Hi Steve, Rather than dealing with groups and overlapping ranges of tracks within different groups, enabling and disabling groups, etc. Select the tracks for which you wish to change the automation mode and do the following: Focus on the automation mode pop-up menu for one of the selected tracks. Route the mouse pointer to the pop-up menu with Control-Option-Command-f5. While holding Option-Shift, press the mouse button and select an automation mode. The Option-Shift modifiers will apply the same automation mode to all selected tracks.
