Latching Behavior for Switch Controls in
“Touch”
This option determines the behavior of
switch-type controls (such as mute or plug-in
bypass) when writing automation in Touch
mode.
• When selected, controls in Touch mode
will latch in their current state. If an exist-
ing breakpoint is encountered, writing of
automation stops. If the transport is
stopped while writing, the control will
AutoMatch to the underlying value.
• When not selected, controls in Touch
mode will not latch.
Allow Latch Prime in Stop (Pro Tools HD
Only)
When selected and any tracks are in Latch
mode, any automation-enabled controls on
those tracks can be set to new values while the
transport is stopped by touching or moving con-
trols, to prepare for the next automation pass.
Coalesce when Removing Slaves from VCA Group
(Pro Tools HD Only)
This option determines the
behavior when removing slave tracks from a
VCA-controlled group.
• When selected, any automation on the
VCA Master is automatically coalesced
(without confirmation) to its slave tracks
when the tracks are removed from the
group.
• When not selected, a confirmation dialog
lets you choose whether or not to coalesce
the VCA Master automation to the slave
tracks.
Standard VCA Logic for Group Attributes
(Pro Tools HD Only)
This option determines
which Mix group attributes may be selected in
the Group dialog when the group is assigned to
a VCA Master.
• When selected, the Main Volume, Mute,
Solo, Record Enable, and Input Monitoring
controls on slave tracks follow the VCA
Master only and are not available to be in-
dependently linked. (This emulates the be-
havior of analog console VCA masters.)
• When deselected, the Main Volume, Mute,
Solo, Record Enable, and Input Monitoring
controls follow the VCA Master, but also re-
main available for independent linking
with groups.
Include Sends in Trim Mode (Pro Tools HD
Only)
This option determines the Trim status of
Send faders when a track is put in Trim mode.
• When selected, Send faders go into Trim
mode along with the Main Volume fader.
• When deselected, the Main Volume fader
goes into Trim mode, but the Send fader
stays in the corresponding standard Auto-
mation mode.
Include Control Changes in Undo Queue
This op-
tion determines whether certain mixer control
changes, such as moving a fader or pan control,
are entered into the Undo queue.
• When selected, mixer control changes ap-
pear in the Undo queue, and are undone if
any prior operation is undone.
• When deselected, mixer control changes
will not appear in the undo queue, allow-
ing you to undo other types of operations
without losing the current mixer settings.
Any set to default operations that affect mixer
controls will be entered into the Undo queue.
