Automation Section
Suppress Automation “Write To” Warnings When
selected, Pro Tools suppresses the warnings that
appear after invoking any of the Write Automa-
tion To Start, Selection, End, or Punch commands
and then stopping the transport.
Allow Latch Prime in Stop When selected and
any tracks are in Latch mode, any automation-
enabled controls on those tracks can be set to
new values while the transport is stopped by
touching or moving controls, to prepare for the
next automation pass.
Coalesce when Removing Slaves from VCA
Group This option determines the behavior
when removing slave tracks from a VCA-con-
trolled group.
• When selected, any automation on the
VCA Master is automatically coalesced
(without confirmation) to its slave tracks
when the tracks are removed from the
group.
• When not selected, a confirmation dialog
lets you choose whether or not to coalesce
the VCA Master automation to the slave
tracks.
Standard VCA Logic for Group Attributes This op-
tion determines which Mix group attributes
may be selected in the Group dialog when the
group is assigned to a VCA Master.
• When selected, the Main Volume, Mute,
Solo, and Record Enable controls on slave
tracks follow the VCA Master only and are
not available to be independently linked.
(This emulates the behavior of analog con-
sole VCA masters.)
• When deselected, the Main Volume, Mute,
Solo, and Record Enable controls follow the
VCA Master, but also remain available for
independent linking with groups.
Include Sends in Trim Mode This option deter-
mines the Trim status of Send faders when a
track is put in Trim mode.
• When selected, Send faders go into Trim
mode along with the Main Volume fader.
• When deselected, the Main Volume fader
goes into Trim mode, but the Send fader
stays in the corresponding standard Auto-
mation mode.
AutoGlide Time Specifies how quickly Pro Tools
transitions (glides) from one automation value
to another, when AutoGlide mode is used.
Coalesce Trim Automation Options
These options determine when Trim automa-
tion is committed to the main automation play-
list on a track.
After Every Pass Sets Trim automation to co-
alesce when the transport is stopped at the end
of each Trim automation pass. No Composite
Playlist is indicated.
On Exiting Trim Mode Sets Trim Automation to
coalesce on a track when the track is taken out of
Trim mode. A Composite Playlist can be viewed
before committing Trim moves.
Manually Trim Automation can be coalesced
only with the Coalesce Trim Automation com-
mand. A Composite Playlist can be viewed be-
fore committing Trim moves.
