Which control is used to display automation on a track in Pro Tools?

• A. Track View Selector
• B. Mixer
• C. Transport
• D. Clip List

Answer: (A)

The ability to reveal automation data on a track comes from the Track View Selector. This control sits on the track header and lets you choose what the track displays, including its automation envelopes (such as Volume, Pan, or specific Sends). By selecting the desired automation parameter in that dropdown, the corresponding automation lane appears on the track so you can view or edit it. The other controls don’t control what a track shows in its lanes—the Mixer is a separate window, the Transport handles playback, and the Clip List is just a clip inventory.
