Suspending the Faders
You can suspend the faders so they do not follow any underlying automation for quieter operation during editing or mixdown. This
does not affect automation, it merely parks the faders so they do not move during playback.
To suspend the faders:
Hold Surface SHIFT while pressing Solo on the first (leftmost) channel strip.
Repeat to re-enable the faders.
Pro Tools provides a preference setting for newly inserted plug-ins to default to all parameters enabled for automation. Go to
Pro Tools > Preferences > Mixing, and under Automation, select Plug-In Controls Default to Auto-Enabled.
