Controllers Section
Edit Window Follows Bank Selection If you are
using a supported control surface with Pro Tools,
this option scrolls the Edit window to display the
selected bank of tracks when you switch banks on
the control surface, ensuring that the current bank
is viewable on-screen.
Mix Window Follows Bank Selection If you are
using a supported control surface with Pro Tools,
this option scrolls the Mix window to display the
selected bank of tracks when you switch banks on
the control surface, ensuring that the current bank
is viewable on-screen.
“Scroll to Track” Banks Controllers When using
a control surface (such as D-Control or ProCon-
trol) you can select this option to bank control sur-
face faders to a numbered track when using the
Scroll to Track command.
Always Fill Channel Strips When Banking If you
are using an ICON worksurface (Pro Tools HD
and Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit
only), or other supported control surface, you can
select this option to maximize the number of chan-
nels displayed when banking. This setting opti-
mizes the Bank commands to prevent the display
of a small number of channels at the extremes of
the surface.
Touch Timeout If you are writing automation in
Touch mode and you stop moving a non-touch
sensitive fader or encoder, Pro Tools continues to
write automation for the Touch Timeout value.
After the Touch Timeout period, writing of auto-
mation stops and the automation data returns to its
previous automation value at the rate specified in
the
AutoMatch Time setting.
Automation Section
Smooth and Thin Data After Pass When se-
lected, Pro Tools automatically smooths and then
applies the specified amount of thinning to the au-
tomation data created in an automation pass.
Degree of Thinning Specifies the amount of thin-
ning performed on automation data when you us-
ing the Thin Automation command, or if you have
selected the
Smooth and Thin Data After Pass op-
tion.
Plug-In Controls Default to Auto-Enabled When
selected, all applicable controls of newly added
plug-ins are enabled for automation. When not se-
lected, the controls of newly added plug-ins must
be manually enabled for automation.
Suppress Automation “Write To” Warnings
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with Complete
Production Toolkit Only)
When selected,
Pro Tools suppresses the warnings that appear af-
ter invoking any of the
Write Automation To Start,
Selection, End, or Punch commands and then stop-
ping the transport.
Latching Behavior for Switch Controls in
“Touch”
This option determines the behavior of
switch-type controls (such as mute or plug-in by-
pass) when writing automation in Touch mode.
• When selected, controls in Touch mode will
latch in their current state. If an existing break-
point is encountered, writing of automation
stops. If the transport is stopped while writing,
the control will AutoMatch to the underlying
value.
• When not selected, controls in Touch mode will
not latch.
