First automation write in a track (and many)

Hi,

Automation read/write is working well to adjust dynamically levels

My question is when I start to mix with a surface control, I dont want and don’t need automation, I just want to initalize correct levels of each tracks, not dynamically though time.

So I adjust my faders. Now, how can I write the first value (the track level is in grey) with a “key” (a blank dot on the automation line) ?

to

I can edit the dot manually of course, but if I have 100 tracks…

And another thing is I need to zoom in a lot, to be able to edit accurately the value, zoom out…

Is there a better way ?

Thanks

David
