Automation Preferences
The Automation preferences globally affect all Automation tracks.
Move Automation with Regions:
This pull-down menu allows you to select what happens to Track Automation data
when you move Regions. You can choose between Never, Always, and Ask, which should
be self-explanatory. Ask is the default setting.
Ramp Time:
The time required by a parameter to return to its previously recorded setting, is
selected via this panel. Double-click on the value to enter a new number (in
milliseconds).
‘Write’ Mode Changes To:
This pull-down menu option determines the mode that faders automatically change to
once the recording of Track Automation data was completed. Options are: Off, Read,
Touch, Latch, and Write.
Touch/Latch/Write Erase:
The checkboxes in this section determine the types of Track Automation data that can
be written in Touch, Latch, and Write Erase modes.
Automation Quick Access:
These parameters are discussed in detail in the Automation Quick Access section (see
“Automation Quick Access” on page 232).
Control Surfaces Preferences
The Control Surface preferences are discussed in the Control Surfaces chapter (see
“Control Surface Preferences” on page 495).
