peatedly to scroll through and select the desired

Recording Mix Automation
Control|24 replicates Pro Tools on-screen auto-
mation features, with channel-based and ses-
sion-wide automation controls.
Channel Automation Switches
The AUTO switches found in each Control|24
channel strip select the current channel auto-
mation mode (Read, Write, Trim, Latch, Touch,
and Off). Current automation state is indicated
using the LED labels to the right of each AUTO
switch. When none of the LEDs are lit, automa-
tion is disabled for that channel.
Automation Section
The Automation section is located to the left of
the fader bank, and consists of the MODE and
ENABLE columns of six switches each, three
WRITE AUTOMATION TO switches, and the
AUTO SUSPEND switch.
AUTOMATION MODE Switches
The master AUTOMATION MODE switches aug-
ment the channel AUTO switch section, for se-
lecting channel automation mode.
