To write a new breakpoint to the previous automation value using the Grabber tool, press...

• A. Option+Command
• B. Command+Option
• C. Option+Command
• D. Command+Shift

Answer: (C)

Using the Grabber tool to add a breakpoint that mirrors the last value relies on copying the previous point’s value into a new location. When you press Option and Command together while using the Grabber, Pro Tools creates a new breakpoint at the current time but with the same value as the previous breakpoint. This lets you quickly duplicate a steady value or extend a constant level across time without altering the value. Other modifier combinations invoke different actions and won’t reproduce the previous value, so they don’t achieve this result.
