Automation modes are abbreviated in the chan-
nel LED scribble strip as follows.
Selecting Automation Modes
There are three ways to change automation
modes: on individual channels, on multiple
channels across several banks, and on all chan-
nels.
Individual Channels
This method is quickest for changing the auto-
mation mode of individual channels within the
same bank.
To change automation mode on a channel:
■ While pressing an Automation mode switch
(WRITE, TOUCH, LATCH, TRIM, READ, or OFF),
press the channel’s AUTO switch.
Multiple Channels
This method is quickest for changing the auto-
mation mode for a discontiguous selection of
channels, or for channels that are on different
banks.
To change automation mode on multiple channels:
1 Select multiple channels by pressing their SE-
LECT switches. Using the BANK switches, you
can select channels in other banks.
2 Press OPTION/ALL+SHIFT/ADD and an Auto-
mation mode switch (WRITE, TOUCH, LATCH,
TRIM, READ, or OFF). All selected channels
change to the selected mode.
When you select channels, they obey Mix group
behavior. To suppress group behavior, press the
CTL/CLUTCH switch, or suspend groups using
the SUSPEND switch.
All Channels
This method changes the automation mode of
all channels on all banks.
To change automation mode on all channels:
■ While pressing OPTION/ALL, press an Auto-
mation mode switch.
TRIM Mode
(TDM Systems Only)
Pro Tools TDM systems allow you to adjust (or
trim) existing Track Volume and Send Level au-
tomation data in real time.
Trim mode works with the other automation
modes (Read, Touch, Latch, and Write) to affect
how existing automation data is trimmed.
See “Trim Automation Mode” on page 63 for de-
tails on using Trim mode with the HUI. Refer to
the Pro Tools Reference Guide for more informa-
tion on Trim mode.
