Default Vocal Automation completed, now what?

When I try to load a compressor on the vocal track, it opens up a series of lanes underneath the track that has the automation on it and the compressor acts erratically.

What am I doing wrong?

You should show what you are doing. I don't understand.

I think I found a video that shows me what to do, I assume from what I have seen so far that I just switch it back to read mode and then apply the compressor.

This is all new to me.

It would be good if you show what's on the video.

At the six minute mark of the video, the gentleman explains the different modes with automation that covers my concern:

You better show what are you doing. Regardless of the automation mode, adding any plugin to track doesn't show envelopes here.

At 9:50 of the video, this is illustrated.

I see, but you told you are adding compressor and see all the parameters. It is not true.

With all due respect, I do not understand what you are saying.

Read your first message and watch the video. Do you think it is the same situation?

I thought that after adding the compressor all the envelopes appeared. After some your messages I understand it is something different. You can choose global automation mode on Transport. It is also possible to override the mode on individual tracks.

I'll check all of that out.

Thank you!
