Constrain New Breakpoints to Next or
Previous Automation Value
New automation breakpoints can be con-
strained and written to the same value as the
next or previous breakpoint.
To write a new breakpoint to the next automation
value:
â– Press and hold Alt+Shift (Windows) or Op-
tion+Shift (Mac) while writing a breakpoint (by
clicking with any Grabber tool in a track’s auto-
mation playlist).
To write a new breakpoint to the previous
automation value:
â– Press and hold Control+Alt (Windows) or
Command+Option (Mac) while writing a break-
point (by clicking with any Grabber tool in a
track’s automation playlist).
Editing Automation on Stereo and
Multichannel Tracks
Stereo and multichannel tracks display a single
automation playlist per track. Only one playlist
for volume and mute is available for the stereo
or multichannel track.
For multi-mono plug-ins, automation playlists
for each individual channel can be displayed
and edited when the plug-in is unlinked, and
the track is in Expanded Track Display.
Expanded Track View
By default, a single automation playlist is dis-
played on stereo and multichannel tracks. The
playlist occupies the entire height of the track
(similar to mono automation playlists).
Optionally, you can display an expanded view
of the track whereby the same automation play-
list is displayed across each channel.
Plug-in Automation Playlists on Stereo and
Multichannel Tracks
Some multichannel plug-ins provide a single set
of automatable controls for all channels in a
track. Other multichannel plug-ins and all
multi-mono plug-ins provide a single set of con-
trols for all channels when linked, or discrete
controls for each channel when unlinked. Refer
to your plug-in guide for more information.
