Rolling Through Automation Punch
Points in Latch Prime
After you prime controls for writing automation

Pro Tools to automatically punch in at that

automation writing on a track:
1 Locate the cursor where you want to punch in
automation.
2 Prime controls for writing while the transport
is stopped. (See “Priming Controls for Writing
Automation in Latch Mode” on page 706.)

button.
4 In the Automation window, click the Capture
button and then click the Punch Capture but-
ton. The AutoJoin marker (a vertical red line) ap-
pears on-screen at the punch point.

external machine to before the punch in point,
or enable pre-roll.

the punch-in point, automation writing begins.
