Logic pro automatically copies automations...?

If im working on a song and i want to layer something i always just copy and paste the note pattern from one channel to another. But the problem is that when i do this it also copies all of the automations that are used on that note pattern. And i dont want this.

I mean i could just go through and clear all the automations one by one after i copy and paste but that just gets annoying. Does anybody know how to fix this? And has anybody else ever had this problem before?

Is there a faster way to delete automation, like right clicking?

Preferences > Automation > Move automation with Regions > ASK

Also if you want to wipe automation either a) shift + click/drag over all nodes then shift/delete them b) click/drag the furthest node across all the others to clear them, then simply click it to delete it.

Also click (first) + ctrl to fine-drag automation is very useful.

Thanks dude! Exactly what i needed! I dont know why logic does stuff like that with its automation, it seems like they always have the least useful option set as an automatic preset for anything automation related :roll:

or you could just right click in the automation mode and then u'll see the option for ''move automation with regions'' (I ussually check and uncheck it severeral times during a session)
