New Touch/Latch Automation
Mode
In Pro Tools 7.2, the new Touch/Latch Automa-
tion mode places a track’s Volume control in
Touch mode and all other automatable 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.
This mode is indicated on control surfaces by il-
luminated Touch and Latch indicators.
New Trim Automation
Features
In Pro Tools 7.2, Automation Trim modes have
been enhanced to provide separate Trim playl-
ists that let you modify Trim automation moves
before committing them to the main automa-
tion playlist.
Trim Automation Playlists
Separate Trim automation playlists are available
for Volume trim and Send Level trim. Volume
trim is available on all track types except MIDI
tracks. Send Level trim is available on audio
tracks only.
Each Trim automation playlist shows the posi-
tion of the Trim fader with yellow breakpoint
automation that can be edited.
To display a Trim automation playlist:
■ Click the Track View selector and choose Vol-
ume Trim or Send > Level Trim.
