Thanks for that.
My solution to accidental bumping was to make a tiny volume automation adjustment, ( a four point minus one and back to zero) at the very beginning of each Channel. That way, when Read is selected the volume is basically locked. In order to make changes you need to select Write or Touch. Sounds like a lot of trouble to go to but I mostly work off Templates, so once it's done it's done.
