Overwrite or Extend Mute
Automation
Pro Tools lets you overwrite or extend an exist-
ing mute event in real time, without changing
the current mute state.
A mute event can be overwritten when the auto-
mation pass begins before the first mute event
and ends after the second event. In this case, the
current on/off state of the mute is maintained.
A mute event can be extended when the auto-
mation pass begins before an on or off event and
stops before the end of the second event.
Mute Overwrite/Extend is supported in Touch
and Latch mode, as follows:
Touch Mode Writes the current state as long as
the Mute button is held.
Latch Mode Writes the current state until you
stop or AutoMatch out.
