Take Region Lengths That Match When this op-
tion is selected, only regions that match the
length of the current selection appear in the
Takes List pop-up menu.
“Separate Region” Operates On All Related
Takes When this option is selected, editing a re-
gion with the Separate Region command also af-
fects all other related takes (recording passes)
with the same User Time Stamp. This option
helps you compare different sections from a
group of related takes.
QuickPunch/TrackPunch Crossfade Length Spec-
ifies a default length for crossfades created by
QuickPunch or TrackPunch recordings. Cross-
fades occur before the punch in and after the
punch out.
Levels Of Undo Sets the maximum number of ac-
tions that can be undone with the multiple
undo feature. Setting this to a lower number can
speed up the performance of slower computers.
Pro Tools 6.1 supports up to 32 Levels of Undo.
Pro Tools 6.0 and lower support up to 16 Levels
of Undo.
Automation Preferences
Faders Move During Playback When this option
is selected, on-screen faders move if automation
has been written for them. When this option is
deselected, on-screen faders do not move, but
automation still functions. Deselecting this op-
tion can help speed up screen redraws and pro-
cessing.
Smooth and Thin Data After Pass When this op-
tion is selected, Pro Tools automatically
smooths and then applies the specified amount
of thinning to the automation data created in
an automation pass. (See “Thinning Automa-
tion” on page 465.)
Write Switches To Touch After Pass (TDM Sys-
tems Only) When this option is selected, after
an automation pass in Auto Write mode,
Pro Tools automatically switches to Auto Touch
mode. On TDM systems, you can choose to stay
in Auto Write mode by deselecting this option.
