Which Write Command allows writing to track selections even if a track is in read or off mode?

• A. Manual Write
• B. Write on Stop
• C. Write to Current/All Enabled
• D. Write to Current

Answer: (C)

Automation write modes control when a track captures automation data. The option that writes to the current selection or to all enabled tracks is the best choice because it allows automation data to be recorded on tracks that are currently selected as well as on every track that is enabled for recording, even if some of those tracks are in Read or Off mode. This means you can capture changes across multiple tracks in one pass without having to flip each track’s automation state to Write. In contrast, other modes restrict writing to only the currently selected track or require specific conditions (like being in Write mode or waiting for Stop), which limits how widely the automation can be recorded.
