Mixing : Automation : Capturing Automation : Punching Captured Automation Values

Punching Captured Automation Values
After automation values are captured, they can be punched (written) to another location in the track. Any tracks set to Read or Off are unaffected.
*   
If you punch during playback, the automation mode of any track set to Touch is set to Latch and writing begins at the captured value.
*   
If you punch while the transport is stopped, the automation mode of any track set to Touch is set to Latch and the control is primed at the captured value.
To punch captured automation values:
1 Move to a location where you want to apply the captured automation states. You can do this during playback or while the transport is stopped.
2 Click the Punch Capture button in the Automation window to apply the captured automation states. The captured states are applied to all automation types that are currently enabled in the Automation window.
