Mix Automation
Mix automation lets you record, or automate,
changes to track and send levels, mutes, pan,
and plug-in parameters. MIDI tracks provide
volume, pan, and mute automation only.
To write automation:
1 In the Automation Enable window
(Windows > Show Automation Enable), enable
an automation type (volume, pan, mute, send
level, send pan, send mute, or any plug-in auto-
mation).
2 Select an automation mode for the tracks to be
automated (Write, Touch, or Latch mode).
3 Start playback and begin writing automation
by adjusting faders and other controls during
playback. Pro Tools LE remembers all moves
performed on enabled parameters.
Once written, automation can be re-written or
displayed and edited graphically in the Edit win-
dow.
Final Mixdown
The Bounce to Disk command lets you write a fi-
nal mix to disk, create a new loop, print effects,
or bounce any submix. Once you have bounced
your final mix to disk, you can use another pro-
gram to burn the resulting file to compact disc.
When you bounce a track to disk, the bounced
mix includes the following:
Audible Tracks All audible tracks are included in
the bounce. Any muted tracks do not appear in
the bounce. If you solo a track or region, only
the soloed elements appear in the bounced mix.
Automation All read-enabled automation is
played back and incorporated in the bounced
mix.
Inserts and Sends All active inserts, including
real-time plug-ins and hardware inserts, are ap-
plied to the bounced mix.
