Pro Tools Reference Guide698
Automation Safe
Outputs, sends, and plug-ins can be placed in
Automation Safe mode. In Automation Safe
mode, any automation associated with an Out-
put window (such as track or send level, pan-
ning, or mute), or plug-in on that track, is pro-
tected from being overwritten while automating
other items on that track.
Automation Safe mode suspends automation re-
cording for the selected track output, send, or
plug-in that is enabled. You can also suspend
automation recording and playback session-
wide from the Automation window. See “En-
abling and Suspending Automation” on
page 708.
Viewing Automation
Pro Tools creates a separate playlist in the Edit
window for each type of automation in a track,
including a playlist for each type of Trim auto-
mation. This data can be viewed and edited in
the same way as audio and MIDI data.
To display an automation playlist:
■ Click the Track View selector and select from
the pop-up menu the automation type you
want to view.
