Which of the following is NOT a way to suspend automation?

• A. Click the Suspend button in the Automation window
• B. Set the track's Automation Mode selector to OFF
• C. Command+Click on the Track View selector
• D. Command+Click on the track's Automation Mode selector

Answer: (D)

Suspending automation means telling Pro Tools to ignore the automation data during playback. You can achieve this by using the Suspend button in the Automation window, or by turning a track’s Automation Mode to OFF, which stops reading automation for that track. A quick way to momentarily bypass automation is Command+Click on the Track View selector, which changes how automation is displayed/handled in the track view and effectively suspends its influence. The Automation Mode selector, when clicked or changed, controls how automation data is read or written (Read, Write, Touch, Latch, etc.) rather than whether automation is being read at all, so it doesn’t suspend automation.
