Operations Tab
The Operations tab contains all the functions that you need to perform automation operations.
Suspend Options
This section on the Automation Panel allows you to exclude specific parameters from the reading or writing of automation data. This gives you full manual control of these parameters.
Suspend Read
Suspending the reading for a specific parameter during automation gives you full manual control of it.

Suspend Read

Suspending the reading for a specific parameter during automation gives you full manual control of it.

Example

Imagine that you have already automated several tracks. While working on the current track, you want one of the other tracks to be louder, to better identify a particular position in your audio material.

By suspending Read for the volume parameter, you regain full manual control, and you can set the volume to the required level.
