Chapter 21: Automation 303
To edit a breakpoint:
■ Click an existing point on the line graph
with the Grabber and drag it to a new posi-
tion.
To edit several breakpoints at once:
■ Use the Selector to select a range in the
automation playlist that contains the
breakpoints, and do one of the following:
◆ To move the breakpoints earlier or later
in the track, press the Plus key (+) to nudge
them later (to the right) or the Minus key
(–) to move them earlier (to the left). The
breakpoints move by the current Nudge
value.
◆ To adjust the breakpoint values, click
with the Trimmer in the selection and drag
the breakpoints up or down.
✽ When you use the Trimmer to edit a selec-
tion containing breakpoints, new anchor break-
points are created before and after the
selected area. To suppress creation of anchor
breakpoints, press Option (Macintosh) or Alt
(Windows) while using the Trimmer.
To edit all breakpoint values in a region:
■ Click in the region with the Trimmer and
drag the breakpoints up or down.
Editing Automation on Grouped
Tracks
When you edit automation on a track that
is a member of an active Edit Group, the
same type of automation (with the excep-
tion of audio and MIDI Pan controls) is also
edited on all tracks that are part of that
group. This occurs even if that parameter is
not currently displayed on the other
grouped tracks.
◆ If you create new automation break-
points on a grouped track (with the Grab-
ber or Pencil), other members of the group
have breakpoints placed relative to that
track.
◆ If you move Volume or Send automation
on a grouped track (with the Trimmer),
other members of the group have their Vol-
ume or Send breakpoints trimmed relative
to that track. This allows you to trim entire
sections of a mix.
To individually edit a member of a group
without affecting the other members, do
one of the following:
◆ Disable the group by deselecting its
name in the Groups List.
◆ Choose Suspend All Groups from the
Groups List pop-up menu.
◆ Press Control (Macintosh) or the Start
key (Windows) while you perform the edit.
▲ When editing automation, audio and MIDI
Pan controls work opposite from the way all
other controls work. When you edit or trim Pan
breakpoints, Edit Groups are not obeyed. For
grouped Pan behavior, press Control (Mac-
intosh) or the Start key (Windows) while trim-
ming.
