Guidelines for “Write To”
Commands
(Pro Tools HD Only)
Using “Write To” Commands
During Playback
You can carry out any of the “Write Automation
To” commands without stopping the Pro Tools
transport. On supported control surfaces, the
corresponding “Write To” button flashes until
you stop the transport.
While the Pro Tools transport is moving, issuing
“Write Automation To” commands affects writ-
ing of automation in the following ways:
• Write to Start/Selection Start: Currently
writing controls continue writing automa-
tion
• Write to All/Selection: Currently writing
controls (except controls in Write mode)
punch out of writing automation
• Write to End/Selection End: Currently writ-
ing controls (except controls in Write
mode) punch out of writing automation
• Write to Next Breakpoint: Currently writ-
ing controls (except controls in Write
mode) punch out of writing automation
• Write to Punch point: Currently writing
controls continue writing automation
Applying “Write To” Commands to
Selected Tracks
The “Write Automation To” commands nor-
mally apply to all tracks currently writing auto-
mation. It is possible to apply these commands
to selected tracks only.
To apply any of the “Write Automation To”
commands to currently selected tracks:
1 Select the tracks where you want to apply the
“Write To” commands.
2 Alt-Shift-click (Windows) or Option-Shift-
click the corresponding “Write Automation To”
button.
Supressing Warnings when Using
“Write To” Commands
When you carry out any of the “Write Automa-
tion To” commands (except Write to Next
Breakpoint), Pro Tools posts a dialog warning
that automation values will be changed in the
session. You can suppress these warnings.
To suppress “Write To” warning dialogs:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click Mixing.
2 Under Automation, select Suppress Automa-
tion “Write To” Warnings.
