Command-a doesn't select every track. In the Edit window, Command-a selects the entire range of the timeline. You can select the tracks within the track list.

When i move the fader up and down it will write fine, but if i make a selection, and then move the fader to where i want for that specific point, how do i write the automation for that point only.can this be achieved after you have written automation to a track just to tidy things up. I have to do this without a control surface. I have the mackie universal control surface with an extender which is excellent. but i am working in broadcast as well and can not get my control surface down there, so i’ll have to do the best i can without one. Maybe i can convince them to buy one one day. but that’s a way off. Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: automation question; Mix Attributes
Hi Steve, Rather than dealing with groups and overlapping ranges of tracks within different groups, enabling and disabling groups, etc. Select the tracks for which you wish to change the automation mode and do the following: Focus on the automation mode pop-up menu for one of the selected tracks. Route the mouse pointer to the pop-up menu with Control-Option-Command-f5. While holding Option-Shift, press the mouse button and select an automation mode. The Option-Shift modifiers will apply the same automation mode to all selected tracks.

So what i’m after is this. i need to have automation selected so i can mix a pile of tracks in a session using my control surface. i don’t need the same automation across all tracks in the group. the main thing is i’d like to be able to turn on automation over 20 or more tracks without selecting them individually. Is this what the group will allow me to do. not sure if i’m making sense.

The quick way is to build a VO item chooser and type in auto this will limit the time to find it. This will change all tracks in that group when that group is selected to what ever you change any of the tracks in that group.

I'm used to having the option of writing to an entire selection but that might be an HD feature, I'm not sure, to be honest. However, I think this might work: Select the range for which you want to write new volume automation. When you play back that section, your volume fader will reflect the written volume automation level. Set your track's automation mode to Write. Set your volume fader to the desired volume level.

Re: automation question; Mix Attributes
hey thanks again Slau. Now just say you wanted automation over every track. can you just hit something like command a to select every track, or do you need to go through and select each one.
