Mixing : Automation : Capturing Automation : Capturing Automation Values

Capturing Automation Values
You can capture the current automation values of actively writing controls.
To capture automation values:
1 Make sure all tracks whose automation values you want to capture are in a write-enabled state (Write, Touch, Latch, Touch/Latch or Latch).
2 Make sure the automation types you want to capture are enabled in the Automation window (Volume, Pan, Mute, Send level, Send pan, Send mute, or Plug-In).
3 Start playback. When you reach a location where you want to capture the current automation states, click the Capture button in the Automation window.
The Punch Capture button in the Automation window lights to indicate a captured value is available to punch.
