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.

Re: automation question; Mix Attributes

[Slau Halatyn]

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.

 Hi Steve,
 About the automation question for all tracks.
 Make a group from the selected tracks you want to automate now when in the 
 groups dialogue choose the "Automation Mode option"  & check it.
 You'll find this option after you select the " Attributes" tab.
 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.
 IE If you change one of the group members to latch they all go in to latch.

Re: automation question; Mix Attributes

[Steve Sparrow]

Ok cool. that looks good. so the only query is, if i f i do this. and select 
the automation on the mix group. will i have the ability to right automation 
for each track. or if i right automation for one faer is it going to change all 
the other 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.

Re: automation question; Mix Attributes

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi Steve,
What I do is to select the tracks I want then hit "command G" to get in to the 
groups dialogue.
I usually select the "edit/mix group option which is the pt default.
If you haven't been in to the groups dialogue I could walk you through it if 
you want.
I'm on the east coast of the USA if you want to chat by phone. :)
Talk soon
Chuck

 Hi Steve,
 
 As expected, doing this with a control surface is simple but, since you 
 don't have access to one there, you'll need to improvise.
 
 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.
 Engage the transport for the duration of the selection.
 
 
 You should have the new automation level written now.
 
 Control-Shift-up and down arrow commands are for clip gain, not for 
 automation.
 
 HTH,
 
 Slau

Re: automation question; Mix Attributes

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi Steve,
About the automation question for all tracks.
Make a group from the selected tracks you want to automate now when in the 
groups dialogue choose the "Automation Mode option"  & check it.
You'll find this option after you select the " Attributes" tab.
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.
IE If you change one of the group members to latch they all go in to latch.
