— Cancel: Lets you cancel the operation.
— Write All: Writes present levels of all controls to their automation curves establishing a baseline “snapshot” of all parameters.
— Empty Mix: Clears all automation data from the mix, leaving only the assignments, routing, track group enables, etc. This option offers a simple way to start “fresh” with a mixer setup on a new mix.

Playing Automation
After you’ve automated a mix, playing it back is as simple as moving the playhead to an area of the timeline prior to the recorded automation, and initiating playback.

Controls that have recorded automation during playback are shown in green.
