Automating volume in Live is easy. Mixing down a project afterward is not as easy. In this video I will show you the right way to add volume automation and if you have already recorded automation onto the channel faders how to keep that automation and free up the faders for mixing duties. Another important note about this method is the device must be at the end of your fx chain.

sweet tips, specially the automantion commands. thanks.
Nice trick, I guess you could also route the audio to a new audio track and add a new automation lane to that second volume fader for mixdown purposes ?
You could, but then you would have another unessary channel / fader in your
session mode mixer. Even if you fold it down to make it thinner its
still extra clutter. That said, in function though your solution is sound.
There are a number of ways to skin this cat…
A good one!
