Guidelines for “Write To”
Commands
(Pro Tools HD Only)
Using “Write To” Commands
During Playback
You can carry out any of the Write Automation To
commands without stopping the Pro Tools
transport. On supported control surfaces, the
corresponding “Write To” button flashes until
you stop the transport.
While the Pro Tools transport is moving, issuing
Write Automation To
commands affects writing of
automation in the following ways:
• Write to Start/Selection Start: Currently
writing controls continue writing automa-
tion
• Write to All/Selection: Currently writing
controls (except controls in Write mode)
punch out of writing automation
• Write to End/Selection End: Currently writ-
ing controls (except controls in Write
mode) punch out of writing automation
• Write to Next Breakpoint: Currently writ-
ing controls (except controls in Write
mode) punch out of writing automation
• Write to Punch point: Currently writing
controls continue writing automation
For MIDI automation, the Write To com-
mands only apply to MIDI Volume, MIDI
Pan, and MIDI Mute. MIDI parameters
cannot use the Write To commands.
