Thanks so much! I think the problem may have been that I was trying to change the channel strip setting after the control had been assigned. Also, using the inspector to see what aux it was actually on was very useful! Thanks again for tying it all together for me. Now I can get back to some creating and be done with this technical nightmare of mapping for a while! It's funny because I think I have to relearn mapping with Logic every couple of years, and now that they have tried to simplify with smart controls, it seems like I am even more isolated for info when it come to mapping in the advanced window. Thank goodness for this forum!
Cheers!
