Are the effects of the Write commands limited to automation playlists currently writing automation?

Yes, they only affect the playlists currently in write mode.

Yes, they affect only the automation for the track that is selected.

No, they are not limited to automation playlists currently writing automation.

No, they are not limited to automation playlists that are currently writing automation.

Automation data in Pro Tools lives in playlists for each parameter on a track. When you turn on Write and move a control, Pro Tools records that movement into the automation lane for the parameter you’re touching. You can switch to another parameter or another automation lane while still in Write, and the new movements will be written into that lane as well. So the write operation isn’t confined to a single automation playlist that’s currently “writing”—it applies to the track’s automation data across the parameters you’re controlling.
