Status
Track Automation Mode Selectors
â—† When a track is enabled for automation but
not writing automation, the Automation mode
selector shows the mode in normal red text.
â—† When any control on a track is writing auto-
mation, the Automation mode selector shows
the mode in bold red text.
Automation Window Buttons
â—† When an automation type is writing automa-
tion on any track in the session, the correspond-
ing button in the Automation window displays
bold red text.
â—† When an automation type is enabled but is
not writing anywhere in the session, the corre-
sponding button in the Automation window
displays normal red text.
Automation Enable Guidelines
The following rules determine whether automa-
tion is enabled for a track:
â—† Although Pro Tools shows a single Automa-
tion mode for each track, all automatable con-
trols associated with that track are not
necessarily in the same Automation mode.
â—† If automation is globally suspended in the Au-
tomation window, all automatable controls be-
have as if they were in Off mode, regardless of
the track’s current Automation mode.
â—† If automation for a control is suspended by
Control-clicking (Windows) or Command-click-
ing (Mac) its name in the Track View selector,
that control behaves as if it were in Off mode, re-
gardless of the track’s current Automation
mode.
â—† If automation for a control is suspended in
the Automation window, that control behaves
as if it is in Read mode when the track is in a re-
cordable Automation mode (Touch, Latch, or
Write mode).
