Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hello LC musicians,

I have a MIDI track of a piano sequence given to me. I noticed that when I import it into Logic, it's actual volume is at 4.9 dB...way to loud. I have it in a song that has a 2 bar drum into before the piano starts. What I am trying to do is set the level of the piano volume at 0 dB but ever time I do so in track automation, it jumps back to 4.9 dB when the piano starts. Is there any way to lock the piano track volume at 0 dB?

Thanks in advance...
Doug
