Automation Safe
Outputs, sends, and plug-ins can be placed in
Automation Safe mode. In Automation Safe
mode, any automation associated with an Out-
put window (such as track or send level, pan-
ning, or mute), or plug-in on that track, is pro-
tected from being overwritten while automating
other items on that track.
Automation Safe mode suspends automation re-
cording for the selected track output, send, or
plug-in that is enabled. You can also suspend au-
tomation recording and playback session-wide
from the Automation window. See “Enabling
and Suspending Automation” on page 922.
Viewing Automation
Pro Tools creates a separate playlist in the Edit
window for each type of automation in a track,
including a playlist for each type of Trim auto-
mation. This data can be viewed and edited in
the same way as audio and MIDI data. You can
either change Track Views to show the automa-
tion you want, or you can reveal an Automation
lane under the track regardless of its Track View.
Track Views
You can view automation data by type by select-
ing the corresponding Track View.
To display an automation playlist in the Track
View:
„ Click the Track View selector and select from
the automation type you want to view.
