Pro Tools Volume and Mute Automation
Version 4.0 software for the MMR-8 and MMP-16 adds support for Digidesign Pro Tools
volume (gain) and mute automation data on playback.
Volume Automation
Version 4.0 software supports playback of volume automation inserted in the Digidesign Pro
Tools system. Pro Tools volume automation allows an audio track to have a volume overlay
which determines the audio gain at user-specified break points on the track. The slope defined by
the line between breakpoints will translate as a change in audio level over time as the track is
played. There is no capability to perform direct editing of volume automation data or recording
of volume automation data on the MM series unit.
Volume automation data will always be played if present in the track. MM series units will
always faithfully play the track in the same way as if the track were being played on a Pro Tools
system. If tracks which contain volume automation data are edited using the edit capabilities of
the MM series unit, the automation data will always be included in the edit operation. Volume
automation can only be disabled using a Pro Tools system.
Mute Automation
Version 4.0 software supports playback of mute automation data inserted using the Digidesign
Pro Tools system. Pro Tools Mute Automation allows an audio track to have a volume overlay
which determines segments of the audio track where audio gain will be muted (attenuated)
between user-specified break points on the track. There is no capability to perform direct editing
of mute automation data or recording of mute automation data on the MM series unit.
Mute automation data will always be played if present in the track. The MM series unit will
always faithfully play the track in the same way as if the track were being played on a Pro Tools
system. If tracks which contain mute automation data are edited using the edit capabilities of the
MM series unit, the mute automation data will always be included in the edit operation. Mute
automation can only be disabled using a Pro Tools system.
