Overwriting Or Extending Mute Automation - DigiDesign Pro Tools Reference Manual

Overwriting or Extending
Mute Automation
(Pro Tools HD Only)
Pro Tools lets you overwrite or extend an exist-
ing mute event in real time, without changing
the current mute state.
A mute event can be overwritten when the auto-
mation pass begins before the first mute event
and ends after the second event. In this case, the
current on/off state of the mute is maintained.
