The Suspend button highlights yellow to indi-
cate that Trim automation is suspended.

on a track:

to show the automation playlist for the Trim

Send level Trim).
2 Do one of the following:
• To suspend only the displayed Trim control
on a single track, Control-click (Windows)
or Command-click (Mac) the control name
in the Track View selector.

• To suspend the displayed Trim control on
all tracks, Control-Alt-click (Windows) or

Editing Trim Automation
If Trim automation has not been coalesced on a
track, you can edit it in the same manner as reg-
ular automation, including:
• Editing automation breakpoints with the
Grabber and Trim tools
• Drawing automation with the Pencil tool
• Copying and pasting automation data to
other Trim automation playlists
• Using Copy Special and Paste Special to
move automation data between a Trim au-
tomation playlist and other automation
playlists
Behavior of Switched Controls
in Touch Mode
In Pro Tools 7.2, when automating switched
controls (including mute, plug-in bypass, and
any switched control on a plug-in) in Touch
mode, these controls will latch in their current
state after they are touched.
However, to preserve any automation for that
switched control later in the timeline, this
latched behavior ends if either of the following
occurs:
• If an existing automation breakpoint is en-
countered, Pro Tools stops writing automa-
tion at that point.
• If you stop playback or punch out of writ-
ing automation before reaching an existing
automation breakpoint, Pro Tools Au-
toMatches to the underlying automation
state.
Setting Switched Controls for
Momentary Behavior
In some cases, such as when overwriting or ex-
tending Mute automation, you may want to
momentarily write automation for a control by
holding it down, and not have the control latch.
To set switched controls for momentary behavior:
1 Choose Options > Preferences and click Mix-
ing.
2 Deselect Latching Behavior for Switch Con-
trols in Touch.
Suspending automation from the Edit win-
dow obeys Edit groups. To suppress grouped
behavior, hold Start (Windows) or Control
(Mac) while suspending a control.
