Enabling Trim Mode

Trim is a special mode for the three write modes
(Write, Touch and Latch). It is toggled on/off
separately from other automation mode opera-
tions.
To enable TRIM mode:
While pressing TRIM in AUTOMATION/EN-
1
ABLE, press a channel AUTO switch. This en-
ables TRIM mode on that channel.
Select a specific TRIM mode (Write, Touch or
2
Latch).
• Use the channel AUTO switch or a combi-
nation of AUTOMATION MODE
WRITE/TOUCH/LATCH and the channel
AUTO switch as described in the previous
steps.

AUTO switch to enable the corresponding
Trim mode on the channel.
Punching Out of Automation

any time.

Automation Mode Color Display
The channel AUTO switch LEDs illuminate in
the following ways to indicate the various auto-
mation modes:
• Yellow: Pro Tools is writing TRIM automation.
• Red (flashing): Pro Tools is armed for automa-
tion in Write, Touch, or Latch.
• Red (lit continuously): Pro Tools is writing
Write, Touch, or Latch automation.
• Green (lit continuously): Auto Read mode is
enabled.
• Off: Automation playback is suspended.
WRITE AUTOMATION TO
Section
When recording or trimming automation levels
it is often useful to write your current setting to
an entire selection/track, either back to the be-
ginning or to the end of a selection or track.
The WRITE AUTOMATION TO switch is con-
nected to three switches: START, ALL, and END.
Because the procedures involve different pairs of
keys, but are similar for each of these three func-
tions, they will be referred to collectively in this
section as "the Write Automation to
Start/All/End functions."
