AutoJoin Indicator
After a Latch automation pass with AutoJoin en-
abled, the AutoJoin indicator appears in the
Pro Tools Edit window.
The AutoJoin indicator is a vertical line that sig-
nifies the point where the last automation pass
was stopped, and the point where the “join” will
automatically occur on all tracks that were writ-
ing during that previous pass. When automa-
tion writing is resumed from this point, the line
disappears.
Touch/Latch Mode
Touch/Latch Automation mode places a track’s
Volume control in Touch mode and all other au-
tomatable controls in Latch mode.
In Touch/Latch mode, the Volume control fol-
lows Touch behavior, writing automation when
touched and returning to previously written lev-
els when released.
All other controls follow Latch behavior, writing
automation when touched and continuing until
playback stops, or until you punch out of writ-
ing automation.
AutoJoin indicator in the Edit window
To use Join or AutoJoin to resume writing on
controls that were writing when the trans-
port stopped, restart the transport before the
AutoJoin indicator.
