Automation consistency between versions

[doug kaufman]

Automation workflows should be consistent across all versions of Pro Tools for those of us who have multiple workstations.

It's bizarre that I have to change my workflow from using "write to all enabled" to alternative methods when I take a session from "Ultimate" or whatever to standard version. This is a core, basic workflow - not an extravagance.

I understand having different track limits, etc to compensate for different facility sizes and pricing reflecting that, but writing automation is a straightforward software function and not a reflection of project size. I shouldn't have to upgrade all workstations just to be able to do basic plug-in automation.

agreed, Trim Automation is one small part that i would like to see the same on all versions .. but ALL Automation being the Same is the BEST Way !!!

i would vote for that ten times !!!
