Chapter 42: Automation 945
A mute event can be extended when the auto-
mation pass begins before an on or off event and
stops before the end of the second event.
Mute Overwrite/Extend is supported in Touch
and Latch mode, as follows:
Touch Mode Writes the current state as long as
the Mute button is held.
Latch Mode Writes the current state until you
stop or AutoMatch out.
To overwrite a mute state on one or more tracks:
1 Choose Window > Automation.
2 Make sure Mute is write-enabled.
3 In the Mix or Edit window, click the Automa-
tion Mode selector of the track where you want
to overwrite the mute state, and set the Automa-
tion mode to Touch or Latch mode.
4 In each track you want to automate, click the
Track View selector and select mute.
5 Place the cursor before the start of the mute
event you want to overwrite.
6 Start playback.
