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
(Pro Tools HD Only)
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.
Trim Mode
(Pro Tools HD Only)
Pro Tools HD can adjust (or trim) existing track
volume and send level automation data in real
time. Pan, mute and plug-in automation cannot
be trimmed in this manner. Trim mode works in
combination with the other Automation modes
(Read, Touch, Latch, Touch/Latch, and Write)
and is useful when you want to preserve all of
your volume automation moves, but need to
make levels a bit louder or softer to balance a
mix.
AutoJoin indicator in the Edit window
To use Join or AutoJoin to resume writing
on controls that were writing when the
transport stopped, restart the transport be-
fore the AutoJoin indicator.
