Rolling Through Automation Punch
Points in Latch Prime
After you prime controls for writing automation
while the transport is stopped, you can set
Pro Tools to automatically punch in at that
point after issuing a back and play command, or
after rolling back and locking to time code.
To set Pro Tools to automatically punch in
automation writing on a track:
1 Locate the cursor where you want to punch in
automation.
2 Prime controls for writing while the transport
is stopped. (See “Prime Controls for Writing Au-
tomation in Latch Mode” on page 38.)
3 In the Automation window, click the AutoJoin
button.
4 In the Automation window, click the Capture
button and then click the Punch Capture button.
The AutoJoin marker (a vertical red line) appears
on-screen at the punch point.
5 Issue a Back and Play command, roll back the
external machine to before the punch in point,
or enable pre-roll.
6 Start playback. When the transport reaches
the punch-in point, automation writing begins.
Glide Automation
The Glide Automation commands let you manu-
ally create an automation transition (or glide)
from an existing automation value to a new one,
over a selected area.
