26.3 Overwriting Automation
- Recording over existing automation for the same parameter replaces it, including on later passes of a looping clip.
- In Session View, mouse moves behave like "touch": the value returns to the recorded automation on release. Hardware knobs and faders behave like "latch": the last value holds until the clip or loop ends. A first recording into a clip always latches.
