Which action is used to suspend automation on a track by changing its Automation Mode to OFF?

• A. Automation on that track is suspended
• B. The track is muted
• C. The track is soloed
• D. The track is disabled

Answer: (A)

Suspending automation on a track is done by setting its Automation Mode to Off. In this mode, Pro Tools bypasses all automation data for that track during playback, so the track no longer follows any automation envelopes and won’t read or write automation. You can still control the track manually, but automation data isn’t active until you switch back to a mode that uses automation. Muting, soloing, or disabling affect the audio path or track visibility, not the automation state, so they don’t suspend automation.
