Chapter 7: Preferences 75
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, Main Volume, Mute, Solo,
Record Enable, and Input Monitoring con-
trols on slave tracks follow the VCA Master
only and are not available to be indepen-
dently linked. (This emulates the behavior
of analog console VCA masters.)
• When deselected, 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.
AutoMatch Time
If you are writing automation
in Touch mode, when you release a fader or con-
trol, writing of automation stops and the auto-
mation data returns to its previous value. The
rate of return to the previous value is the Au-
toMatch Time
.
AutoGlide Time (Pro Tools HD Only)
Specifies
how quickly Pro Tools transitions (glides) from
one automation value to another, when Auto-
Glide mode is used.
Any set to default operations that affect
mixer controls will be entered into the Undo
queue.
