What happens when Automation Mode is Off?

• A. Automation is suspended on that track
• B. Automation is enabled
• C. Automation is reset to zero
• D. Automation is duplicated

Answer: (A)

Automation modes control how Pro Tools handles parameter changes during playback and recording. When Automation Mode is Off, automation is suspended on that track. This means Pro Tools ignores any automation data for that track during playback and won’t write new automation as you move faders or adjust plug-ins. You can still control the parameter manually, but those manual changes won’t become part of automation until you switch the track to a mode that reads or writes automation. If you later switch back to an automated mode, playback resumes using the existing automation data from where it left off.
